    Very High Minus Progressive polarized?

    Rx is : OD -16.50+0.50x170 Add +2.50 o.u.
    OS -16.75 sph

    What ,if anything ,is available in a progressive polarized for this Rx?
    I'm using a 44 eye Montego by cutter and Buck. Present clear lens is 1.66 GT2 Short. I thought Kodak Unique but that only goes to -12.50. Help , PLEASE!

    According to Shamir's quick reference chart:
    http://www.shamirlens.com/images/quick_ref.pdf
    the Autograph 2 goes up to -16.75. However, I would check with your lab before placing the order, because on thelensguru.com it only lists the same lens as going up to a -12.50, so there may be a difference it what the manufacturer says can be cut and what can be cut in actuality. If you use several labs you may need to call around because the answer may differ from lab to lab.
