How We Can Help With a High Prescription
Having a high prescription doesn’t mean you have to compromise on the appearance, comfort, or style of your glasses. With the right lenses and frame, we can help you achieve glasses that look great and feel comfortable to wear every day.
One option is high-index lenses, which are specially designed to be thinner and lighter than standard lenses. This can make a significant difference for stronger prescriptions, helping to reduce the overall weight and thickness of your glasses.
Aspheric lenses are another excellent choice. These lenses can be made flatter and thinner, while also helping to reduce the magnified or minified appearance the eyes can sometimes occur with higher prescriptions. The result is a more natural-looking and cosmetically appealing lens.
Choosing the right frame is also important. The size, shape, and fit of your frame can influence the thickness and weight of your lenses. By selecting a frame that suits your prescription, we can help minimise lens thickness while ensuring your glasses remain comfortable and well balanced.
Finally, an anti-reflective coating can improve both the appearance and comfort of your lenses. It reduces distracting reflections, allowing more light through the lens and making your eyes more visible to others. It can also help reduce discomfort from screens, headlights, and other light sources.
With careful consideration of your lenses, frame, and coatings, a high prescription can be managed with great results. We can help you find a solution that combines clear vision, comfort, and confidence.
Any of our experienced dispensing staff can help you consider these options for your next pair of glasses.
