    PLEASE HELP!!! Sola Percepta Spectralite fitting height

    Hello everyone! I am looking for a centration chart for the Sola Percepta Spectralite progressive lens or a page from the Progressive Identifier book (my office does not currently have one) that says the manufacture recommended fitting height is 22 mm (I have found documents online that say such, but it is not from the manufacturer and the one at Lens Guru is not complete). I know this lens has been recently discontinued, but it is very important that I find one.

    Thank you for your time!

    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!:D

    I found this online, but I have no idea what year it is from or when it changed.

    I am still welcoming any help. Thanks!

    I have this that says 18mm minimum fitting height. You'd have to find an older centration chart to get those high fitting heights something pre-2000.

    The 2002 OLA Identifier has the percepta listed as a 22mm fitting height

    Although the minimum is listed at 18mm, I have never successfully fit a Percepta at anything less than 19mm. And that's only if they're not a big near reader. I have dealt with hundreds of Percepta wearers, and I would go 20.5 or higher. If the pt is adapted to this lens, you would be creating an annoying situation if you try to push this, but I really hope I'm wrong on this one.

    MINIMUM height is exacty that......anything less means that the lens is useless, and at minimum height all you get is minimum value and minimum useful area. I can't understand why anyone aspires to minimum values in anything.

    Shouldn't you grant someone more than minimum vision?
