I have been using Ormex progressive lens for about 4 years now.
After moving to this non-metropolitan city 2 years ago, I am not
getting those 50% off on a complete pair deal and it's getting to be
too expensive.
I want to get a new frame and put a new prescription using Essilor
PANAMIC lense. I think the lens comes with scratch resistence. I will
also put anti-reflection coating (which is costly) and UV protection.
I have done some reading online about Valrilux lens type, lens
material, etc.
My questions are
(1) W.r.t choosing the right frame" What info I need to know? Would
those be eye size, bridge size, and temple size? How do I get those
info?
As for the lens, I think that aside from the prescription, I just need
to give Pupil Distance but what is "Far PD" versus "Near PD"? What are
"Mono R" and "Mono L"? I see the PD asked in the following format in
the prescription area after the Right row and Left row with "Far PD,
"Near PD", "Mono R", "Mono L" with drop down selection box form where I
can choose a value:
PD: Far PD Near PD Mono R Mono L
As you see if I were to provide binocular PD, which selection box (of
the 4 above) should I choose?
(2) An eye store suggested me to get a computer pair as well a regular
eyeglass since I am doing computer programming. When I asked what type
of lens would be suggested, I was told was that the lens used is called
"computer lens". What did he mean?
BTW, I understand that I need a special prescripion for computer
lens. If I want to buy a computer pair online, do I just order like a
regular pair using the prescription specifically for computer pair? By
providing that prescription, would the system knows what lend type to
suggest as is the case on the following site?
