    Your axis from the two eyes is only 5 degrees apart.
    It may seem like the axis was reversed, however, the compensation was done for the near area.

    These are very good points!
    Using a blue blocking lens that reduces blue violet light will increase the contrast of the screen and may lead to a reduction of symptoms common to digital eye strain....

    I used polycarbonate on an 8.00 BC to obtain the values.
    When using the approximate thickness formula, you should put this through a while loop to get a more accurate value.

    OS67 means that the lens is an Office Lens in 1.67 material. On the temporal side you should see something like ##100 or ##200 or ##400, where ## could be 20 or 40 or 30, this does not matter. The...

    Since blank size is no longer a concern due to free form production the PRP location ultimately is not relevant. One could say increased distance between the fitting cross and the PRP reduces prism...

    The formulas remain the same: TCA = P/v

    The difference is in how you determine prism amount. Using Prentice's rule you do not take the the angle of incidence and refraction from both surfaces...

    As the thickness increases the prism amount increases thereby increasing the transverse chromatic aberration viewed by the wearer.
    The prism looking 30 degrees away from center in a +5.00 with a 4.2...

    You would have to use a Superb or Individual to specify PoW. You could also use one of the Sport options if the base curve is steep enough.

    You can approximate the transverse chromatic aberration(TCA) by calculating where you want to calculate the TCA.
    For example you could calculate a +5.00, 15mm from center in a material of 1.6 with a...

    The PRP location serves as a reference point to check power and prism.
    This point does not necessarily represent the optical center of the lens since a free form lens lacks an optical center....

    In order for a lens to be free from astigmatic blur at all gaze angles light should come to a point focus on the far point sphere(center of rotation - focal length of the lens). This imaginary sphere...
