How do I get thinner lenses?
If you have a strong prescription and want to minimize the thickness and weight of your lenses, there are several options available to help you achieve thinner lenses:
- High-Index Lenses:
- High-index lenses are designed to be thinner and lighter than standard lenses, making them an excellent choice for those with stronger 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, reducing lens thickness to the minimum.
- Aspheric Lenses:
- Aspheric lenses are designed with a flatter curve, which helps reduce the overall thickness of the lens, especially at the edges. This makes the lenses appear thinner and more aesthetically pleasing.
- Smaller Frame Size:
- Choosing smaller frames can help reduce the thickness of your lenses. Larger frames require more lens material, which can result in thicker lenses, particularly for high prescriptions.
- Lens Material:
- Consider using polycarbonate or Trivex lenses. These materials are thinner and lighter than standard plastic lenses, making them a great option for stronger prescriptions.
- Anti-Reflective Coating:
- Adding an anti-reflective coating can enhance the appearance of your lenses by reducing glare and reflections. This can make your lenses look clearer and less noticeable, even if they are slightly thicker.
