    Sound advice. A poet once said...

    Know when to fold 'em

    Powers this high get complicated... 1) There are only a few people who can cast their own blanks so it give Quest an edge in 1.74. 2) most free-form generators max out at a -15.00 backside curve, which means either biconcave or a modified generator. 3) Software has to accommodate the higher powers, but its usually an edit to fix. 4) bi-concave or Free-form micro-lenticular are the best choices over a -15.00.
