Hi everyone
I am hoping to tap the wealth of knowledge - and also everyones experiences -
I have a potential problem PT - he is a surgeon and also wants to be a 1st time PAL wearer
He had told me he is "" looking for the best vision - not To concerned with weight or thickness - but wants the best optics ""
Well - as you know - most Md.'s are in the same group as my engineer PTS so my ?'s are
? YOU SUGGESTION ON A FREE FORM PAL ( PERF. NOT ESSILOR PRODUCT ) AND ALSO A STANDARD PAL -
I was reading my lens bible - and see Ziess seemed to have allot to offer - and one in particular was aval. with a near zone advantages -n ( which i thought would be great since this is what he would be doing at work - also this lens was aval. in a 1.60 and 1.67 so therefore i thought i might get better optics in the 1.60 ?
If you could chime in - and tell me your best design choice to try in a free form - and also standard pal - and why - I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT - can anyone tell
I got a v-mail saying he will be coming back to see me today - to discuss his options - "" SOUNDS LIKE A FUN easy afternoon "" -NOT- LOL
rx
od -8.75
os -7.50 - 1.00 x 95
add 2.25 ou
seg ht 18-19
i did recom. actually 3 prs for him -
the pal - for daily activities -
a occupational lens - such as access - or similar - to give him wider areas - then the pals -
that he may use for his
computer and reading and also can maybe use in OR - since everything is in arms length -
and a pr of sun -
i did want him to 1st try the pals - since he is a good chance to have rx issues - and may have to go back to recheck his - rx - just seems like that kind of pt - also that he may even need differant refractions for his regualr glasses - and then his occupational needs - so that was my plan - to get everything picked out - and hold off on all but the pals - till i feel better about his new rx -
price is no real huge concern for him - i think -
however i have found it may be difficult to realize it is time for pal - and more imptly - that the vision will never be the same as it was 20 yrs ago LOL
Thanks IN advance
Happy new year to all
