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.
