    Question Prism reference point for bifocals

    Sorry to ask what might be a stupid question. When measuring for distance between prism reference points on mounted bifocals, is this the same as getting the distance between distance OC's?

    Slow down everyone your moving to fast, frames can't catch you when your moving like that!
