    FT Options with low add?

    So, long story short (I actually already wrote it out, but it got deleted, grr) I have a patient who has the following computer rx:

    +2.00
    +2.00-0.25x080
    +0.50

    Origionally she was going to go with a PAL, which is no problem, but after talking with her, I really don't think she'd be a good candidate for it. So now I'm looking for options. I'd normally just call my lab, but being Saturday, they're closed. Can I get a standard FT28 with such a low add? Or am I out of luck? :hammer:

    I would be concerned that the patient couldn't tell that the reading portion is any different from the computer. If she is young and still has accomadation available, just use a SV computer/reading Rx. I think she would be happier, IMHO. Good luck.

    I'm with Marc, add a quarter and make it SV. (She can move the chair 4" closer)

    Sola Access. Not exactly a flat top but a lot easier to adapt to than a PAL. Just order with Dist Rx and full add. Lab will calc and run.
    A lack of planning on your part DOES NOT constitute an emergency on mine!
