    Confused what's the full length corridor equivalent of the Essilor Small Fit?

    I know I know, long time, no talk...

    So I had a patient come in this morning who LOVES his Essilor Small Fit. New frame is a much taller fitting height. Is there a full length alternate of the Small Fit?

    The Small Fit is the Short Corridor version of the Ovation.

    Have you considered keeping him in the Small Fit even in a deeper frame? Someone asked about this at Expo and the Essilor rep said you can use short corridor lenses in deeper frames. With the short corridor the person reaches the reading area fast and you switch him to a longer corridor lens he might not be happy.

    Yeah would that mean using a longer corridor , the patient would have to raise their head back more to achieve their full reading power?
