I have no-line bifocals and want to determine the fit height of my
lenses. Aren't there some kind of engraved marks that show where the
lens transitions to the add portion? I've noticed a couple of circles
or o's in my lenses and am wondering if that is the markings.

You could call your optician for this information, although what's on the order
form doesn't guarantee that this was how they were made. If you are having a
problem with your eyeglasses then it would be best to consult with your
optician. You might want to call in advance so that they can set aside some time
to do some trouble-shooting.

Hope this helps

Please, what does 'fitting height' of glasses mean?

How does it work?

those are the markings -but the fitting height will usually be either
2 or 4 mm above the height of the circles (depending on lens type)
