Hey Optiboarders- Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's the scoop:
Dr. precribes New Pt. 1st time PAL
Old frame: 2.5 degress of wrap
Old SV Rx: -2.75+1.50x10
-1.75+1.00x 178
PAL Style: Hoyalux ID Life style 1.67 w/ SHV
New frame 5 degress of wrap
New Rx: -3.00 +1.75 x 12
-1.75+1.00x180
+1.50Add
When dispensing the PAL, pt. puts them on and becomes VERY disoriented and unhappy- blurry distance, and a swimmng sensation. After checking the measurements and(we had time in the schedule for the OD to even recheck the RX) everything checks out.
I advised him to take them home and try them out. He did. I get a phone call in about 10 days with complaints of non-adaption.
So we move him into SV.
He came in to pick those up today and I thought foir sure he'd be a happy camper and we'd call it a day- but he puts the new pair on and says everything is blurry and he cannot read. He puts his old glasses on and says I can see great in the distance and read fine. Which leads me to think that its the curve. Which also makes me wonder if he didnt like the PAL's because of this issue as well.
He wore them in the office for a while, with no change. But I advised him to try them out to see if he can get used to the curvature. And if he doesnt, we will scrap the whole deal and Reframe style (something very close to his current frame)and match basecureves- the whole she-bang.
Its frustrating because #1-We have to incur more costs to make him happy. #2 He has to go outta his way. #3 I still dont know if even THAT will work.
What to do, What to do???
Any help guys? Thanks in advance. Long story, I know. Thanks for taking the time to read it!
