Adding in this amount of customization could be problematic considering many (not all) opticians' limited knowledge of how different Rxs will react to different designs.
I could see this working for a small very specialized doctor's office where the concept of fine tuning the glasses is expected to take time and trial and error. Aside from that, I think most practices are fairly set on having good, better, best tiers that are predetermined by patient reviews and education offered from reps.
On the other hand, I would LOVE a chance to play with the software myself and plug in different Rxs to see exactly how the lens layout shifts. I used to do something similar with my surfacing equipment where I would plug in different test info to play with thickness options between materials.
