    With the vertical prism being apart of the near requirement I would look to a Franklin vs decentration, can still keep as a D segment to help manage thickness.

    Decentering the segs for near horizontal prism is not uncommon. We generally only consider the add power for calculating the amount of decentration needed, and in this case if we are asking for 2...

    I would also check to see if there has been any change in cylinder axis and power moving from or to a more oblique meridian.
  6. Full backside progressive and Rx prism ..... issues?

    Has anyone experienced any challenges with prescribed prism and full backside designs? This is a generic question vs a specific pt. issue.

    thanks,

    Vertex distance vs. corridor length

    My understanding suggests that a long vertex distance is better served by a corresponding longer progressive corridor. The logic that the eye is exposed to more of the lens surface, thus indicating...

    Can't visualize doing any lens work with the contraption. Edging, grinding, ... nada ....., curious if someone recognizes what function it did perform.

    Why is this working?

    During the last few months I have had two antimetropic Rx’s that were originally unsuccessfully fitted with progressive lenses. The complaints were both centered on discomfort at near. One had been...

    The lens blanks for flat tops will have fixed drop and decentration for the segment, and a change in seg height will mean a change in minimum diameter for cut out ... which will impact lens thickness.

    Chris wouldn't you want to protect the retina as much as possible? Obviously not restoring night vision or other visual enhancements but protective of an at risk region.
