What to check
- Lens height. Progressives need enough vertical lens height for the reading zone; ask the lab whether your frame size works.
- Measurements. Labs usually need your pupillary distance and sometimes fitting heights; an optician can measure them.
- Display models. On glasses with an in-lens display, the prescription is often built into the display lens, so aftermarket progressives may not be possible. Check the model's prescription page.
