    I'm not going to knock its usefulness, but it's also really old.....

    And remember, you can always call your friendly independent wholesale lab for info. :D
    There are rules. Knowing those are easy. There are exceptions to the rules. Knowing those are easy. Knowing when to use them is slightly less easy. There are exceptions to the exceptions. Knowing those is a little more tricky, and know when to use those is even more so. Our industry is FULL of all of the above.

    Only one with a fitting height of 20 and one with one of 19. The rest below.

    I remember when fitting heights were 22-24, minimum. And I am not that old.

    Look at all those E lenses that are listed at 85% of add at their height. Try telling someone that we're only going to put 85% of your Rx in your lenses because we felt that would be OK.
