Hi all,
I am new to Optiboard and I’m looking for some help with my technical studies.
If an aspheric SV lens is dispensed and heights are taken, but upon sending to the manufacturer the heights have to be moved to datum in order to cut out on the largest available diameter...what are the implications of this for the px?

Semi-finished front aspherics should be fit following Martin's Rule for tilt, and free-form back aspheric/atoric designs should be fit according to instructions provided by the lens manufacturer, typically providing the pupil heights on a preadjusted eyeglass frame.
Workarounds include introducing thinning (yoked) prism , using spherical lenses with higher values for pantoscopic tilt, a different lens brand and/or material, a different frame that positions the lenses optimally, etc.
Hope this helps,
