    High cyl freeform PAL?

    I'm looking for a freeform PAL for a -650 cyl. I know the Physio 360 isn't available in this range (at least in Canada). The Individual is but is much more expensive.

    Anyone know of another option? Or at least a PAL design that is optimized for such a high cyl?

    Thanks!

    I think that Rodenstock will be able to help you. I think the Multigressive 2.

    High Cylinder problem

    Most Freeform PAL designs can not be produced in these high cylinder due to manufacturing the surface. At ICE-TECH since we specialize in high wrap polarized prescription sunlenses, we developed the manufacturing expertise to produce the steep curves required for the wrap products while maintaining the 8 base front curve. We can produce these with total power in excess of -6.00 power.

    We can now produce within limited lens sizes a PAL lens in your Rx. Within 60 to 90 days our newest designs will be released allowing these high cylinder PAL lenses to be produced in almost any lens size.

    Zeiss Gradal Individual

    Hi Ory.

    Althought the prescription is too high to make, Zeiss Individual can provide up to -6.00 cyl.

    I hope this helpful.
