Anyone know of a PAL design made down to a +.50 add? I can't think of any. (Eyezen doesn't count -- I'm looking for bonaifde PAL!) Is +.75 the lowest in the optical world?

Why doesn't Eyezen count?
It would be the best choice imo.
Fit a wide corridor progressive low as another thought- but you are looking for something that would not be profitable to produce I imagine, with so little demand and especially with the Eyezen doing exactly what you want.

Add powers from .40 D to .65 D can be found with the various anti-fatigue designs available from many different sources.
Hope this helps,

Two options to find:
1. The vision council's current progressive search

2. 2015-2016 Pal Identifier

On pg 8
I'm curious why the Eyezen wouldn't work, too. Seems like the corridor of the progressive would just be a waste of lens with that little difference between the distance and near rx.
Any brand of power boost would have an appropriate strength.
Just went through this with a patient who wanted a computer lens (Tact, Workspace, etc.) which also only goes as low as +0.75. She is being restyled (if you can call it that) into a power boost. I like the Acomoda because it is a true +0.50 bump.
Luzerne's FreeFocus and SightStar365 both have +.50 adds.
All 5 of the VIA progressives by VSP start at a +0.50 add.

I would tell him/her to get some single vision or finished readers and use them for a few years until they are investing big money in glasses.
