Our Doc just saw a client. -7.00/-5.00. Doc handed her off to me and told me she's had base curve issues in the past but had some questions about progressives because she has a 150 add now. Looked at her old pair. Damned things were popping out of the frame they were so curved. They looked totally warped. Here's the story. She was wearing a pair that had become warped over time and had got used to them. Had a new pair made and couldn't deal with the change so the place she got them had them remade in an 8 base. Now she's effed. We've never made anything for her in the past so I told her to continue to frequent the place that she had been seeing and let them handle this for her which happens to be a large supermarket chain. What would you have done? I was absolutely blown away that someone would exacerbate her problem by recreating a bad pair of lenses.
