    Every single manufacturer of progressives in the world would love to load you up on this info. One phone call. Plus, y'all shouldn't be checking off jobs less'n you already know.

    Sorry, my bad. Thickness reduction prism is base down and usually 60% of the add. Our software only adds it if there is a net value (combined) of at least +1.00 D. I'm quite surprised that this is the first time you're using it. I'll use that as my excuse for my ignorance, if you'll let me.
