The same holds true with new Rx's that that the customer is unhappy with dispite numerous encounters with their eye care team. Remember, you are working for the customer not the refractionist.
I think that the reluctance to duplicate lenses is the inability to accurately neutralize a pair of lenses. This factor generates "corporate" policy which prevents most opticians from practicing their craft.
