We are planning on switching to Image as our new "go to" lens. I do not really have any prior experience with the lens and am going on positive experiences that others have mentioned on optiboard. I had a few questions:
-The fitting cross drop on Image is 2mm instead of the standard 4mm on many other PAL's. Does this affect the fitting? Empirically I would imagine that it would be safer to fit the cross at the bottom of the pupil or to fit it at the center but deduct 2mm when sending the order to the lab. The rationale here being that there is not much space between the fitting cross and the beginning of the add corridor (with the potential of overplussing the patient on straight gaze).
-I've heard that the lens works well for distance and intermediate but is weak for near. Is there any benefit of bumping the add by 0.25? I know that this is often frowned upon. Any advantage to going more than 18mm on the min seg height?
-Has anyone had any specific problems with this lens regarding computer vision? Near vision?
