    Edging instructions needed

    Many new opticians that I meet are confused regarding the Edging/finishing layout for Progressive lenses. I have searched most of the Industriy web sites but to no avail.

    Anyone know where I can find a printed version of these instructions?

    Thanks!

    It's not all that difficult. You locate the MRP of the lens, measure the frame PD and frame depth then lay it out accordingingly. No diifferent than any other lens. Lay the MRP in,out, up, down according to the frame specs and PD, seg height requirements.

    Part of this depends on your finish lab layout and equipment. There are some edgers that have a uniform layout regardless of PDs that "compensate" for the measurements during its cutting cycle.

    I agree with Jubilee. It all depends on equipment used. I would imagine that the best info would be from the equipment manufacturer's instruction booklets for each piece of equipment(blocker/edger). I can not recall seeing anything in any of my books. I do know that there have been a few books on finishing or lab work(titles escape me now) that may address this issue.
