I was neutralizing lenses for our Gift of sight program today and came across a st28 -2.00 sph with a 6.00 add. The other lense was of same power but only a 2.00 add. I suspect the other lens might have been a balance but the question is about the 6.00 add. The two opticians that were working have more then 25 years experience and they have never seen a 6 add before.
I'm a noob but I thought going above a 4.00 add didn't exist.
The lens seemed to be relatively new and of higher index material. It was a 4 base and oddly, it was polished which you would only know if you took the lenses out of the frame.
How high do adds go and what is the nature of this kind of rx. My head has been reeling.
