    Question Fitting a Zeiss Individual

    We have a patient who just came to us for glasses this year. She was previously wearing a Zeiss Individual 21, the optician put her into a Physio ... Patient is unhappy with peripheral in the new lens so we were going to put her into the individual.

    Now, question being, do i have to fit this any special way? or can i just send it to the lab with the seg ht and have them go to town? I have never worked with Zeiss product before

    Thank you for any help/snark!!

    Fitting height is the same- bisect the corneal reflex. Supply the values for pantoscopic tilt, dihedral/wrap tilt, and wearer's vertex distance. POW may be critical depending on the Rx and how much they differ from the default values, about 5 degrees, 10 degrees, and 13mm respectively.
