    Base OUT prism & Free Form

    Does anyone have any recommendations for what type of progressive may work better than another when it comes to a long time base out prism wearer and his first plunge into getting a progressive?

    Here's the RX:

    OD -1.75 -0.50 x 180 4 base OUT

    OS -2.75 sphere 4 base OUT

    Add +2.25

    PD 31/31

    I'm using a frame with a PD of 69. Thinking about 1.67 index with A/R and some type of free form progressive. Cost is less important than the best possible vision for this client. I've heard great things from Craig about the Kodak Unique and am eager to try it. Think this would be a good candidate?

    I've used the Kodak Unique with very good sucess. Recently I started to use the Autograph with even more sucess. I would think any of these two should work well with his base out prism. Some patients didn't like the green residual color from the Kodak Clear A/R, which is used for the Kodak Unique.
