Yes we are providing the pow measurements, and preadjusting. But I've noticed many of our patients don't like the long corridor. It seems they have better luck with short Corridor Progressives. And...

I just recieved my first pair of Hoya Sync 5 (+0.53 add). They are by far the best lenses I've ever had. I tried the Shamir Relax in comparison, and Hoya Sync blew the Shamir away. It is true,...

My new favorite anti-fatigue lenses are the Hoya Sync 5 & 8 lenses. I just received my Sync 5, which is a small bump of +0.53 add spread out the entire width of the lens at the bottom. I don't feel...

Perhaps try the Clearvision Izod Sun 749 XL fit, size 65/17/150 B=42 ED=69. It has a 4 - 5 Base curve. Good luck!!

Try using Amcon's Safety-Solv Pen (SL-1092). It works on all lens materials, yes, even polycarbonate. It removes progressive ink markings, paint, glue, grease, oils and the permanent lens marking...

Let's say a patient orders transitions and you activate them and dispense them to the patient. They call a few days later complaining that the lenses are not activating or getting dark enough. Put...
