First of all, I really do love my OD. He has the best atitude and is very thourogh with his exams and kind to his patients. He is one of the best Dr.'s I have ever worked with. My problem is that he will come out of the office, and with the patient standing there, tell me exactly what material to put them in and what fitting height they need if they are in progressives. He hates Poly, and if anyone has a cyl. higher than a -.75 he will say to go with cr-39 or hi-index. A patient yesterday wanted polarized sunglasses, which we can only get in poly and when I explained this to the patient he freaked out cause THE DR SAID THAT WOULD BE BAD!!!! His rx is:
OD: +.25 -1.25x 85
OS: -.25 -.75x80
I would never assume to know more than my Dr. does, but what do you think about this RX in poly? I talked the guy into it and assured him if there was any distortion we would put him in cr-39 with a tint.
How many patients have you had with high cyl. that have had prblems with poly, or have done fine with poly? My huby's rx is
OD: -.25 -4.25 x 95
OS: -.25 -3.75 x 90
and he is in poly and has never had any distortion at all. (he wouldn't let me put him in hi-index because he is a cheapo! ;) )
I guess I just wish my Dr. would let ME decide which material to use, and I definetely know how to fit a progressive. That is why I get paid the big bucks. :D Any advice on your experience with poly would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
