    Any suggestions for a substitute for a Zeiss Gradal Brevity progressive

    We have a patient that has : OD -7.00 -.50 x85 and a OS -7.75 -.75 x 85 with an OU +1.75 add.
    She had previously worn a Zeiss Gradal Brevity 1.67 and liked that design. That lens is discontinued.
    Is there any suggestions on a current progressive that would have similar design features.

    Thanks for the information.

    ¥ou can use a GT-2 short or a Zeiss Choice 13.

    I moved all of my Brevity patients to GT2 short and they were successful moves. But wasn't that around 10-11 years ago?

    Put her in a Precison Pure 15 and she'll be happy. Precision Pure 13 and she'll be blown away that she can read her cell phone. Put her in Individual 2 and she'll be amazed she never knew she could see so well. Put her in Drivesafe Individual and she'll cry, having no idea that lens design and fit could make that kind of difference.
