Unless you *have* to have progressives, here is a solution that should help you out. Just order a pair of readers to your *modified* prescription below.
RE +0.75/+0.75 x 032 (NO ADD POWER) LE -0.25/+0.75 x 030 (NO ADD POWER) Basically what this will do is give you full size lenses that have the same script you'd have in the reading part of a pair of bifocals (or progessives). I would think that with such a low ADD power, that you don't have much of a problem with your intermediate vision (approx. 3 to 6 feet). Barring that, go to Optical4less. Their ADD powers go from +0.25 and up. -=# Firewalker #=- On Mar 5, 12:05 am, Chuck Knight <[email protected]> wrote: > Precisely.
