    Progressive Lens Reference

    I know I posted this update in another thread because some folks had asked about it, but since a lot of people like to use this chart as a reference, I am starting a separate thread so everyone who might be interested can read it. I still need to add a few things like the new Varilux laser mark images (probably next week), otherwise it should be fairly comprehensive. I apologize for taking so long to get it updated.

    Progressive Lens Chart:

    Be sure to let me know, if there are any changes you would like to see made.

    -Updated the new Varilux images and the Hoya product info.

    Again, if anyone happens to run across any errors, omissions, or anything they would like to add, please let me know.

    Thanks,

    -Keith

    This is a very nice tool, especially since it tells what type of design each lens is. One suggestion I could make is to add how many mm above the markings the fitting cross is located.

    Progressive Lens Reference

    Thanks! We've been using your reference chart for over a year. It's great! We have an ikon right on our drop down menu for easy reference.

    I didn't notice any version numbers anywhere on the pdf chart. How do we know we have the latest version? Can you add a date or version #?
    Or did we just miss it?

    Thanks again. Great Job!!!! Very Helpful!!!

    Thanks Lenny, the AO Pro 15 is not discontinued. The corrections have been made. To my knowledge the Gradal HS is discontinued.

    Karen, good suggestion with the fitting cross height. Thanks.

    Rollmeister, the latest version will always be in the same location (URL) and the revision date is on the bottom of each page.

    I'm glad everyone is finding it useful.
