Thank you, Eagle.

Hi Mehul! The opthalmic consultant and surgeon happen to be Eljefe's sister and brother-in-law, so I was able to talk quite freely on the subject.

We have discussed progressive lenses and a decision will be taken two or three weeks from now.

However, I had done some independent reading and I am not entirely certain if this will work well. As a righty I would be looking through the top left part of the lens and this is meant for distance rather than intermediate range. See the diagram at http://www.allaboutvision.com/lenses/progressives.htm

The docs know my requirements and I am sure they will come up with an appropriate solution. Can't wait to put the right peeper to some good use.

Keep well.
