is everyone fitting comforts as low as 18 w/success?

Chic:

Bumping add, helps a little but it also reduces reading area more and squishes the intermeadiate even more. And I ment 80% of add power, not reading area (which is also greatly reduced.)

Wow, this is an old thread. Now they have the Comfort Short and the New Comfort.

Hey......12 years ago, my dress size was a 4!

Speaking of that...did you ever it? I can't seem to find it anywhere!

We have had good luck with the Youger Image at 18 high. That design gives a really nice mid-range. As long as you have at least 10mm at the top for distance, your comfort should work too!

In 2000, we were all jamming to the rocking tunes of Creed for cripes sake!

Bwahahaha, speak for yourself!

[Johns]

Creed? No, I don't believe it. Once you hear Leo Sayer, you ripped off the dial and have been listening ever since.

Funny thread rebirth! When A/O came out with the Compact Varilux started gettin their butts wooped in sales with the smaller "B" sizes. Suddenly their reps started talking about how it was JUST FINE to fit 'em at 18!! I remember cracking up about it back then. What dorks!

I always focimeter a progressive before edging, and note exactly where the full add is, to make sure it will fit in. It's often not in the designated area; sometimes above and sometimes below. I also note where the proper distance prescription is, and I will often adjust accordingly. With this technique you can't really go wrong.

Is everyone fitting caomforts as low as 18 and with really great success.
With managed vision care what progressive do you use?

Darn, this means I can resurrect an old meaningless thread this week from the dust bins of Optiboard.

So you're changing the specified start of the corridor height?

[Robert_S]

Yes, all the time. Do you always fit progressives with the fitting cross exactly on the pupil?
