Easily....
Ok how about Rodenstock Progressive XS? One lab owner told me that it was at a 2% non-adapt rate.
I also spoke to the owner of a lab in Toronto who is a Seiko partner. He told me when his free-form Seiko lenses were relatively new that he had sold 20,000 and got something like 12 back......less than .1 percent. I will stay any free-form progressive.

"[QUOTE=cmarx;419599]I am wearing the Empower and my observations : I find that for the time I sit at the computer the intermediate is not as high as I would like as all the screens I use are set at eye level. ( I normally wear an Office lens) Rarely do I need the add, occassionally I find that I switch it on when some of those frame stampings are faint. I find that when watching TV in my Recliner I am not sliding them down to the tip of my nose. When I do 22 count cross stitch I find the add useful. I would NEVER put them on automatic. The .75 add is what I think is set at a flat top height and I think I experience image jump. ( I've never worn a lined seg so I can only assume) That is plain annoying."
Can you bring them to Albany next week? I'd love to see this in action!

I know I sound like a Debbie downer, and I'm really not! But I'm guessing that the high adaptation rate is due in part to the cost of the empower. I'm thinking there is a much higher degree of determination to make these things work out by the patients. I'm not saying that's a bad thing though. I wish more people who wear progressives would give them a harder try before giving up.
Pixel has been doing everything but just authorized US Optical to begin fabrication again. I believe others will follow (like Luzerne)
Actually it came from Pixel yesterday, but obviously, I stand corrected. What is the name of your Lab?
Pixel optics filed for chapter 7.....................
