Those are the two things I apply to Every Patient, whether they wear a suit in or ragged clothes. I never judge what a patient can "afford". And, I sell nothing but Premium Free Form lenses for progressives and the frames on my board start at $120. And, I'm located in the "Rust Belt" of the country.

Ok, Judy. Here's a question for you. With the Superior lens, I "believe" that the measurements required to optomally process the lens, besides the normal measurements, are:
- Angle of facial form
- Angle of panto tilt
I don't believe vertex distance is necessary, although I may be wrong.
Do you know if there is anything else?
And, ah, hmmm. Faster Horses. Henry Ford Huh?

You can also customize for preferred reading distance.

The customization is for the inset, enabling the Optician to choose between 0.0mm and 5.0mm in 0.1mm increments and the inset can be chosen individually for right and left lenses.
In theory, you're correct, the reading distance correction should be calculated during the exam or with a trial frame. In practice, it's rarely done. There just isn't time any more.
I can't remember the last time my personal OD or my OMD asked me to demonstrate my most comfortable reading position.
Paul, just a sidenote here, and I know it's off-topic. I know the state of Washington has licensing requirements for their opticians and I believe it is really strict. Here in Northwestern Pa. we are flanked to the east by New York and to the west by Ohio, both have licensing requirements. It kills me to see the level of unprofessionalism and lack of knowledge among our "opticians" in a state that does not require ANYTHING to be an optician. Many "opticians" can't even use a lensometer. They have no idea. Many places hire people who they deem are good at sales and then give them a little knowledge and tell them to "sell, sell, sell". Well, at least we are not in the stone age here since Pennsylvania DOES require a license to cut hair!

Any real world users of this lens getting feedback as yet? I know it's still hot off the presses...but wondering if any patient data has started to come in yet?
Anyone know when this will be VSP eligible? I don't see it listed yet in products drop down.
Comped pair to my co-hort in crime loves his.
-4.00ish add+2.50
We can also specify monocular inset with Nikon SeeMax.
Anyone know of any other progressives (freeform or traditional mold) where we can specify a different inset OD vs OS ?
Mystyle V+ I think you can specify different insets R and L
Any one knows best AR coating for Seiko Superior and is there any blue light cutting off coating available?
The "new" "Seiko Super Resistant" AR appears to be very, very good so far. Its being done at Hoya facility, me thinks it is basically EX3. highly recommended
