    I am pretty sure that you can do the Ellipse 1.67. I think it goes up to +9.5

    Try the Genesis in 1.67, I think it goes that high. You can also try Hoya Gpw in 1.60 or Solamax in 1.60. Depending on the seg, I'm pretty sure you can do any of those but you might want to call your lab and ask the availablility. Good luck!!!

    Seems to me that is what the Shamir Autograph and the other FreeForm lenses were made for.

    Rodenstock is Impression, Zeiss has Individual, they both seem to have the same ideas (Germans), Total control (go figure).


    Full back surface progressive, sv SPHERE front gives the ability to change any and all parameters on the back. Adjust lens design for actual inset (far and near pd), panto, wrap, vertex, and control corridor length.

    these I have used for a couple of years and have tried to switch patients from this type of thing to some of the new "FREE FORM" being launched (in Canada) and all I can say is my patients have confirmed (almost 200 prs in 3yrs, according to my computer) that most of this other stuff is marketing CRAP and I think these two companies are leading the pack and the rest are playing catch up.

    If the patient's power was low or medium plus, what will you recommend the progressive lens from Sola or Carl Zeiss as well?

    Thanks in advance.
