    Post Opinion: Article On Free-form/Digital Progressives

    http://www.ecpmag.com/1webmagazine/2...tal-lenses.asp

    I came across this article explaining about the new progressive manufacturing processes. I wonder if people here can give me any feedback on the quality of information in this article, or have anything to add?

    I'd like to share it with my classmates in the Dispensing Optician course but would like to verify that it's good info.

    Thanks,
    Cindi

    I'm too busy mopping up my tears, picking up the pieces of my shattered self-esteem, and drowning my sorrows!
