High index lenses, such as those with a prescription label, may be suitable if your prescription is high. Unlike regular lenses, these are significantly thinner and lighter. This makes them feel more comfortable on your face, which is especially key if you have to wear them for extended periods of time. Thinner lenses also reduce blurriness that can happen with thicker lenses, making clearer vision easier for you. High index lenses are available in various indices for example 1.67, 1.74. The larger the number the thinner the lenses. Pick a higher number and your glasses will show nicer and feel lighter. We have a slew of high index lenses you can pick from here at PHOTON.
Selecting the correct glasses can sometimes be daunting, especially if you have a high prescription, and fortunately there are some very simple tips to help you find what works best. For starters, consider the material that the frame is made from. Thicker frames, in particular, can be a good option, as they can camouflage how thick the lenses are, making them more aesthetically pleasing. Second, note the shape of the frame. You’ll want to choose a frame shape that flatters your face, you know. Such as oval and round frames are often better options for those wearing high prescriptions because they tend to suit a variety of different face shapes. Third, ensure that you select a frame that complements the size of your face. If your glasses are too small, it can also make your lenses look thicker than they are. If they are oversized though, your lenses will seem smaller. Finally, remember to discuss with your eye doctor the various lens options that are available. They will guide you to find the right lenses that are suited for your prescription and fit your face perfectly.
When purchasing glasses from an eye doctor (more formally referred to as an optometrist), you can trust the lenses were manufactured correctly.

Did you realize there are lens coatings for your glasses? While it can enhance your eyewear, different types of coatings can also improve your experience. For example, an anti-reflective coating aids to lower glare and makes it easier for you to view an object, notably when you are heading out at nighttime or in direct sunlight. UV coating is another key option, as it protects your eyes from harmful UV rays, which can come from the sun; a scratch-resistant coating can help your glasses last and make sure they stay looking nice. From anti-reflective coating, polarized, photochromic and all of those that can elevate your eyewear to be a perfect high prescription one.
