Abstract
A progressive addition lens design device for designing progressive addition lenses to permit a patient to experience a variety of distance vision fields and reading vision fields. The device includes a frame adapted to hold in place in front of each of a patient's eyes three lens mounts, each lens mounts being adapted for adjustment in rotation and side-to-side translation. A third lens displaying the patient's base prescription mounted in one of the lens. A first and second lens is mounted in the other two lens mounts. The first and second lenses, each have a transition zone and a power ramp zone and they have complementary surfaces so that when stacked together they create a standard progressive addition lens with a distance vision field, a reading vision field and transition region. When the first and second lenses are moved relative to each other the locations of the distance vision field, the reading vision field and the transition region are adjusted allowing the patient to experience a variety of distance vision fields, reading vision fields, and transition regions.
