We recently saw the wife of a referring physician who ordered 5 pairs of glasses? Needless to say we wanted to make sure that everything went well. From her complaints about her previous experiences with optical we decided to proceed carefully.
I refracted her personally and then trial framed her to assure a correct Rx. We were cautious about vertexing etc. Her Rx was
OD: +4.50-0.75x90
OS: +2.00 add +2.50 OU PD 72
We suggested that we make one pair of glasses first and that if that worked out she would get the other 4. We made bifocals in Poly AR.
When the glasses came back she immediately complained of the thick right lens (which was rather thick). However, most importantly she complained that she couldn't read through the bifocal segments. I rechecked the Rx which was perfect. However, everything was "swimming" and she complained of monocular ghosting on reading thru the segs. She was reading about J5 with the glasses but J2 or better with trial frames. She told me at that point that in the past she had always had slab off; but I don't think that this is related. I have to say that I'm mystified and don't know how to proceed with the other 4 glasses.
