Can optical dispensers alter prescriptions?

[namenda]

If a patient has a bifocal prescription from his optometrist but is interested in filling only the distance correction, can the dispenser honor the patient's request?

Asking for a friend.

If you work(ed) in the optical industry, you would know the answer.

Are you talking about vertex compensation for fit of frames or good old Marty's rule to align optical centers to the eye? Can you even make butter chicken in a pressure cooker? I make a mean one. It's all about getting the spices sauteed right and setting the numbers up right.

Tallboy, after I pulled myself off the floor from laughing, I have to ask, what's your recipe? There's a restaurant near me that makes Ah-mazing butter chicken. I've tried several recipes and nothing compares.
