Whether they are degressive, photochromic, polarising or progressive: revisit your lens creation process and the use of the latter by your opticians by de-packaging your products.
For example, a single product for a photochromic progressive lense containing 3 tints and 4 corridors will be created, whereas previously as many products as tints/corridors/etc. had to be created in the catalogue (e.g.: 3 tints * 4 corridors = 12 photochromic progressive lenses in the catalogue).
