i currently have him in 1.70 hi index, but he says there is distortion outside of the 45degree nystagmus (idk the optometry term for this point so ill use the law enforcement term.) now my 50 yr veteran optician says this is as good as its going to get due to his Rx. My doctor/boss says i might try a better Abbe value material, which i think could help. i have two weeks to gather information and advice before we make a decision. i wear trivex myself and suggested it and it was greenlit, and i know cr39 and of course glass would be better abbe-wise. the patient doesn't care much about thickness, but i doubt hes ever seen his Rx in a normal material.
Thoughts, comments, or advice?
Any help for the new guy greatly appreciated.
