Frame Size and Strong Rx
When choosing eyeglasses, especially if you have a strong prescription (Rx), the size of the frame plays a crucial role in both comfort and lens thickness. Here’s what you need to know:
- Smaller Frames for Strong Prescriptions:
- If you have a strong prescription, smaller frames are often recommended. Smaller lenses reduce the thickness and weight of the lenses, making your glasses more comfortable to wear and less bulky in appearance.
- Avoid Oversized Frames:
- Larger frames can result in thicker lenses at the edges, particularly for high myopia (nearsightedness). This can make the lenses heavier and create a "coke bottle" effect, where the edges appear thick and magnified. For strong prescriptions, it's best to avoid oversized or wide frames.
- Lens Material Matters:
- Consider high-index lenses if you have a strong prescription. High-index lenses are thinner and lighter than standard lenses, reducing the overall bulk. They’re designed to provide the same vision correction with less material, making them ideal for strong prescriptions.
- Frame Material:
- Lightweight materials like acetate, titanium, or TR90 can help offset the weight of thicker lenses, providing a more comfortable fit.
- Lens Shape:
- Rounded or oval-shaped lenses can also minimize lens thickness compared to rectangular or square frames.
