    Finished PAL supplier?

    I've been asked to locate some finished progressive lenses. Plano distance, up to a +2.50 add. Doctor is wanting to help out some special patients (his parents) who will be undergoing cataract sx soon and he's certain we had some many years ago.

    Does anyone know where I can find such a product? We currently get finished SV from VE and Younger but I haven't had any luck finding a finished PAL.

    I've got them from ABBConcise, Hoyalux GP. They seem cheap but one can get inexpensive full surfaced Rx progressives for the same price. Check out Shoreview or FEA's Constitution HD. Finished might have been useful back in the day when there weren't super inexpensive progressives, but today I think the only reason to buy finished is if you want to buy a lot and have a stock library on hand for the reader market.

    Thank you both, I'll check them out. I had the same thought about surfacing a cheap progressive but wanted to check prices on finished before I did anything. Thanks again.
