    If you can find a lab willing to go out of their parameters, you could go with a 1.70, which will give you better clarity than a 1.67 or 1.74. What they need to do is myo the back and put plus cyl on the front.

    Agreed. However find a lab that knows how to do it right, instead of one that thinks they can.
