Designed for optimal vision in billiards, these billiard frames feature specialized lens positioning to accommodate extreme upper gaze during play.
Fitting Considerations
- Frame Design: Elevates lenses for proper coverage in a shooting stance.
- Fitting Process: Use a pool cue and table to simulate real play and assess upgaze needs.
Lens Positioning:
- Standard lift ensures coverage over the eyebrows.
- Additional lift possible via nose pad adjustments or larger B-size lenses.
Lens Shape:
- Oval or rectangular lenses offer optimal coverage.
Lens Type:
- Workspace lenses with broad corridors and minimal distortion are recommended.
Standard Measurements:
• Lower lens mount: 10mm from the bottom edge.
• Upper bridge mount: 26mm from the bottom edge.
• Progressive fitting cross/seg height: 30mm.
• Minimum B size: 44mm (44-48mm recommended)
• Lens recommendation: Wide-corridor progressives (e.g., Nikon Workplace).
• Rx parameters: Full distance prescription + half the total add (max +1.50).
• Edge options: Polished or frosted.
• Avoid anti-reflective coating (causes internal reflections).
Adjustments may be needed for individual preferences. For best results, ensure proper customization.
