    More importantly, what is the patients lifestyle? Most progressives are optimized for that exact RX, so you don't really have any spectacle limitations. Its a lifestyle issue in low powers like that.

    i know when i got my start in "optical retail" they explained differences in progressive lenses like practically day one... Earthling, did the optical retail establishment you work at not provide you with this basic information? that can certainly make it extremely difficult to perform your job.
