    The mathematics are a bit tedious. It would be easier to use OptiCampus.com - Induced Prism or, since you are specifically interested in vertical imbalance at near, OptiCampus.com - Vertical Imbalance. According to the vertical imbalance calculator, these lenses require a net vertical prism compensation of 0.41 prism diopters base up, right eye, at 20 mm down and 2 mm in.

    This would be the amount to order for a slab-off, although vertical imbalance compensation is really not necessary for this particular job.

    Best regards,

    SV patients seldom if ever need a slab off or any sort of prism compensation. Especially vertically.
