High index and aspheric lenses are advanced eyewear options designed to enhance both vision clarity and comfort, especially for individuals with stronger prescriptions.
These lenses offer significant benefits over traditional lenses by reducing thickness and improving the overall aesthetics of the glasses.
High Index Lenses
High index lenses are made from materials that bend light more efficiently than standard lenses. This means that even if you have a strong prescription, the lenses can be made thinner and lighter.
For individuals with significant nearsightedness or farsightedness, this reduces the bulky, “coke-bottle” appearance of traditional thick lenses. Not only do high index lenses improve the look of your glasses, but they also feel more comfortable on the face due to their lighter weight.
Aspheric Lenses
Aspheric lenses are designed with a more sophisticated curvature, which differs from the traditional spherical shape found in regular lenses. This design results in a flatter profile, especially for stronger prescriptions. The flatter shape reduces distortion that can occur at the edges of the lenses, offering a wider field of vision and better peripheral clarity.
Aspheric lenses also contribute to a thinner, more attractive appearance of the glasses.
