Hi:
I heard a rumour that for executives and progressives, when determining lens thickness, the distance and the add power are added together. If this produces a plus number, then the lens is treated as a plus lens when determining thickness.
For example: distance Rx is -1.00 D.
the add power is +2.00 D.
the net reading power is +1.00 D.
this lens should be treated as a plus lens when determining thickness so I would be measuring edge thickness not centre thickness.
Is this true?
