so long for progressive addition lenses to be created?
Radius of curvature Right Ans - In order to increase plus power through
out a PAL, the __________ must become continually shorter.
Steeper, plus power Right Ans - In PALs, shortening the radii produce an
increasingly _______ surface, which provides the progressive ________.
Distance, intermediate, near Right Ans - 3 zones of a PAL
