    Indo "Eyemade" progressive lenses, made with an Indo "Visual Map" unit or workstation or whatever they might have called it. So the proper term is "Visual Map".

    I was going to post the "that won't impress the patient!" mantra that I see folks usually ask about this type stuff. However for me, while tech is cool, if someone whipped out a plumb and a protractor to go with their good ol' pd stick to "customize" my order for me.. I would think "man, they have to know what they are doing!"

    Then again, I have worked with some who it might be a prayer of "I hope they know what they are doing..." Which is why a lot of folks like the machines that might help eliminate human error.
