    Increasing B Height Question

    Hello,

    If someone wants to increase the B height from 29 too 38 for cosmetic purposes.

    The progressive height is 17 measured on the demo lens that is 29 B height, what height would you order when increasing the B too 38mm?

    Depends on the frame type. Is it a four point rimless, a semi rimless or larger size of the same model ? In other words are you only increasing the b measurement by adding on to only the bottom or are you adding to both the top and bottom?

    Forgot to mention it is a four point rimless, adding to top and bottom.

    Then split the difference for the modified B and adjust your hgt by 4.5mm.

    Before we can answer your query, we must first explore the question of how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop.

    I reckon it has never been done since no one can resist taking a bite before arriving at the delicious chewy core.

    Provided that the increase was distributed equally both superior and inferior from datum. Since the author did not provide us with the numbers ,one can only assume that this is some test to see how many hung over optiboarder's are out there. I want to discuss this delicious chewy core, optimensch speaks of.

    New seg ht is whatever amount you extend the bottom plus original seg ht, No matter the frame type frame or flavor of the tootsie pop.

    Not quite true. As you bite the core of the tootsie pop, the head tilt posture changes with the degree of "eye roll" expressing satisfaction with the deliciousness. This will raise the seg position.

    I've found the tootsie pop far too presumptuous a confection - long ago I switched to the more straight forward tootsie roll.

    That's what I thought, I'm not a Optician but it seems like there is a obsession with tootsie pop here.

    Oral fettish or "that's what she said" jokes in general tend to amuse my peers.

    God help me.
