    Help with identifying a progressive symbol

    Although I have the OLA latest (2005) Progressive identifier catalogue, I can't find a symbol for a progressive i NEED TO IDENTIFY. I'll describe it:

    It is a *stylized* "H", with paranthesis-like sides, something like this "(-)" under the temporal corner, outside and the add. Unfortunatley, the nasal nomenclature is cut away because of a narrow PD.

    Thanks for helping!

    I'm going from memory, but I think it's a Hoya Wide
    ...Just ask me...

    The clear standard index and Transitions 1.50 SOLA Percepta has an engraving that is similar to what you describe. It appears to be an H inside the Percepta rounded triangle/shamrock? looking logo.
    My take on it is the H is for Hard Resin.

    I think Spyvet has it right...the "h" I describe is

    much bigger than the SOLA Percepta "H"

    Thanks

    It may be other Hoya lenses too. I have a chart of their progs and most have that symbol, but there should be letters/numbers under it as well e.g. G3, W3, G1, W1, G4, W4 etc. if you can figure anything out, email and I'll check my list.

    That wasn't fair. You knew you would get immeade response from the females when you offered chocolate. It releases the same chemicals in the female brain as ultimate sexual satisfaction. Unfortunately it doesn't burn the same amount of calories though.
