DRO stands for Dynamic Reading Optimization, which improves the overall optical performance of the lens while significantly reducing oblique stigmatic errors in the reading area. The average increase in effective reading area is 17 per cent over a range of prescriptions, while the average reduction in oblique astigmatic errors in the reading zone is 54 per cent. For certain prescriptions, DRO can virtually eliminate oblique astigmatism. The technology greatly reduces off- axis viewing, allowing the eyes to comfortably focus in the reading area for longer periods of time. OPTICAL PRISM | September 2018 43
