    Like a base up arrow

    I am seeing a pt today that the lasttime we saw her was in 2005. Her RX was
    -4.25 -0.50 x165
    -5.25-0.75 x20
    +2.75 add
    the past optical person did a LitestyleVarlux Pan w/ a seg ht of 19 and pds of 29/29.5 her base curve wase5.


    I was planning on doing a VarluxComfort 2?


    But in our notes at the bottom of heroptical card is written “[an up arrow] add line to sght lc141”


    Not sure of what this means. The arrowis like a Base up arrow.


    Thanks

    The Dr thinks that it means that theadd was brought up from a 2.5 to a 2.75 b/c of the sght.. OK nevermind I thank he's rite. I see it. But the Comfort 2 Good to change2?

    She's not wearing the notes, she's wearing the glasses. I would neutralized and skip the guessing.

    The Comfort 2 has been less than successful than the original, and at threee times the price!

    Note to self:

    The prescribed add, may not be the position the person is comfortable reading at.
