    Mims or Mimms Lenses

    Hi All,

    I have an account whose pt is requesting a Mims lens for double vision. Has anyone ever heard of it?

    Thanks in advance,

    Ed

    That was a great thought, but I called the account and they said that was not the case. The pt had "Mims" written on a note that they had received from another doctor.

    Thanks Robert. I thought I knew their products better. Looks like it occludes just enough to not be as cosmetically un-attractive as a frosted lens.

    Your welcome. It doesn't look quite as transparent at closer distances though.
