[Leica] Progressive eyeglasses

[rclompus@cox.net]

Larry,

The science of eye glasses has now changed.  Progressive curves, apsheric 
and atoric surfaces with 18 layer antireflective coatings have made spectacle 
lenses almost as sophisticated as a Leica lens.  DEFINITY dual add 
progressives now set the pace for advanced spectacle lenses.  The 
intermediate widens out quite a bit.  You still have to orient somewhat but 
not like before.  

Nothing beats a mirrored sunglass for looking at things or people without 
being detected.
