Today’s Opticians are the 1900’s blacksmiths. Ultimately regulated to history books.
My 2 cents as a hyperope;
With total backside design PAL’s, it creates a bi-convex design in the umbilic, not following eye rotation as well as total front side or duel surface designs.

1. You’ll want to move the lenses to the drill’s clamps fairly quickly from the edger when edging super-hydro coated lenses to avoid de-blocking ( once de-blocked, it will be...

This is what I like about OptiBoard, always something to learn. Thanks!

If these were spherical lenses, they would pass (there's no power at 180). But if they were aspheric/atoric they would fail (asphric centers would be off 3mm each).
What about an old fashioned no line bifocal? Nice, wide distant vision and relatively large reading area.
You absolutely can decenter a low power at 180 *spherical* lens for either cutout reasons or thickness considerations. To answer the OP’s question, as Kwill mentioned, if the surfacing lab...
Most high index lenses have a higher specific gravity (heavier) than cr39. 1.60 has about the same as cr. Unless your 1.60 lenses are substantially thinner (less material), than cr, they will weigh...
