Hello all!
I'm looking for some ideas (even outside the box) for a patient of mine.
His Rx: +3.00ish with 2.25 add power.
He is a plumber, and he's always crawling under sinks and looking up through the top of his lenses to see pipes, etc. (near to intermediate distances) and his progressives are just not cutting it. He's looking for a occupational pair of glasses that he can wear while working that allows him to see what he's doing (people are so picky!;) ).
Anyway, our first thought was a double D seg (top and bottom) however impact resistance is a major priority and those are available only in plastic and glass (through my lab, anyway).
Can you think of any lenses that are available in poly or trivex that would work? I thought about doing a normal bifocal in poly and just putting it in the frame upside down, but Doc had a great point that he's going to have to read work orders and such, which he'd look a little silly doing if he had to hold the paper above his head...
Thanks in advance for any and all ideas!!
