    its true progressive cant do everything perfectly. i am about to get my second progressive and this time from zeiss and my optician suggested smaller frames for index 1.67. what he told me was zeiss progression is much better and distortion wont be as much. i love my current glasses just that right eye may have increase powers. i adapted to my first almost immediately. my question is it true what my optician said that better brands of lens provide better comfort?

    • @LaramyKOptical
      @LaramyKOptical 3 дні тому

      Without knowing much more all I'll say is, "there isn't any magic pixie dust." Zeiss makes some great lenses and you should do fine. As to "much better and distortion won't be as much." Maybe, maybe not, probably. I'm guessing your power is quite high - hence the 1.67 and the advice on using a small frame so it sounds like your optician may know what they are doing.

      I would have to say, no. I doubt you can manually decenter for PD and then expect the edger to take care of an OC height. I guess it could work but you would have to experiment with the edger. The basics shown in the video assume no OC height = 1/2 the B. And OC heights are for higher powers and should be kept to around 0 - 5mm. If you need much more you have the wrong frame.

    If it helps for prism, the way I understand it is; PT PD is Right eye or (OD) 31mm and it was received at 33mm, that 31-33= 2mm BO (base out) because the received PD is larger than the PT PD. In the OD the prescription is a minus lens (-) when the RX is minus we change the base to the opposite direction, in this case meaning BI. If the RX was in a plus lens (+), then we keep the same base direction meaning that our base would stay as BO (base out). Hope this helps! Great videos, I am refreshing my memory for my BOARDS!

    @fabiorodriguez3257 14 днів тому

    Guys if it helps, the way I think about how to know what type of prism it is: PT PD is at 67 and Glasses were made at 60, so we know that is BI because the glasses came with a smaller PD than the one, they were supposed to have. Then I looked at my prescription in the eye that am I working on. If is a (+) plus lens, then the prism stays in the same direction BI. If is a (-) minus lens, then the prim is the opposite, in this case BO. Hope this helps! The videos are great and very helpful now that I am getting ready for my BOARDS and needed a refresher.
