    Actually - as someone who has worn progressives for a long time - I have found the larger the lense - the larger the distorsion!!!! What he doesn't tell you is the lenses are made so you are looking thru on hourglass - and everything outside the hourglass is distorted. This makes it so you have NO PERIPHERAL VISION! Unsafe if you are driving. Progressives have been around for a real long time, you think they would fix this. And also keep in mind - the larger the frames the heavier the lenses (even the thinest lense). Makes it very uncomfortable for people who have very strong prescriptions.

      I believe that it's more for having more intermediate zone that opticians recommend tall lenses for progressive lenses.

      The gradient is lower so it is easier to get used to it

    Great info! In my recent interactions at my opticians, their focus was on selling more expensive/lower distortion advanced lenses. No one told me about the effect of frame size!

    I bought a larger frame that had larger lenses and took them to two different optometrists, and neither place could create a good progressive pair of progressive glasses. Both created the same problem. The distance upper part was perfect, but just below the distance part was an area that was blurry no matter what I was looking at. The good intermediate and reading areas were very low in the lens, causes me to hold my head way back to use them on a computer, which was not acceptable. I've had 3 pairs of progressive glasses in the past 20 years that were very good. They were all small frame glasses. My current optometrist thinks he can fix the problem, so I'll give him one more chance, if not I'm going back to small frame for my progressive.

    I thought you did a video where round glasses were promoted to deal with high prescription but perhaps that’s high without being progressive. So would an aviator be best for -7 progressives?

    Makes sense! I think allot of glasses should have large frames because it actually is like wearing Ski goggles all day long. Narrow Field of View

      Do you mean because you can have a longer corridor if you have a larger frame?

    Hi. What size glasses would you suggest? I don’t care for the transition between farsightedness and nearsightedness it in my current glasses. Thank you

    Do they actually have the lines on the glasses ? Or is that for example purposes only 😊

      Yeah, just during the manufacturing process. They are removed at the end.

    Please make a video to quantify all this (approximately, obviously). Impact of ADD value (+1.00 vs +2.00,,etc.) and of lens size (30mm vs 35mm, etc) on field of vision. And compare on the field of vision difference by going from standard to premium progressive lenses.

      I think there are too many variables involved. You need to speak to an expert optician about your specific case - we'd love to help with a Virtual Consultation
