How do I get thinner lenses?
If you have a strong prescription and want to avoid thick, bulky lenses, you can opt for thinner lens options. Here’s how to get thinner lenses for your glasses:
- Choose High-Index Lenses:
- High-index lenses are designed to be thinner and lighter than standard lenses, even for strong prescriptions. The higher the index, the thinner the lens.
- 1.67 High-Index Lenses: A popular choice for moderately strong prescriptions, offering a balance of thinness and affordability.
- 1.74 High-Index Lenses: The thinnest option available, ideal for very strong prescriptions. These lenses provide maximum reduction in thickness while maintaining clarity.
- Consider Aspheric Lenses:
- Aspheric lenses are designed with a flatter curve, reducing the overall thickness and minimizing distortion at the edges. This makes them thinner and more aesthetically pleasing, especially for higher prescriptions.
- Smaller Frame Size:
- Choosing smaller frames can also help reduce lens thickness. Larger frames require more lens material, which can lead to thicker lenses, especially for high prescriptions. Opting for a smaller or more compact frame can make your lenses appear thinner.
- Material Choice:
- Polycarbonate and Trivex lenses are thinner and lighter than standard plastic lenses, making them good options for those seeking thinner lenses.
- Anti-Reflective Coating:
- Adding an anti-reflective (AR) coating can further enhance the appearance of your lenses by reducing glare and reflections, making them appear clearer and less noticeable.
