    The near pd, calculated from the distance pd, the add power, and the frame wrap angle.

    Higher the add = shorter focal length = more convergence = narrower (than standard) insets required. Wrap angle is generally not much of an issue unless it's suns with a higher degree of wrap (10+ degrees)
