Thin Lenses

High-index
Aspheric
Polycarbonate

Originally designed for farsighted (plus) lenses to reduce the thick bulge, this special design now is available for nearsighted (minus) lenses as well. This type of lens uses a computer design that flattens the curves of both surfaces to reduce thickness, decrease the magnification effect and improve optics. Couple this design with high-index materials to get great looking strong prescription lenses. The latest addition to this category is "atoric" surfaces, which help improve optics by reducing distortion in astigmatic lenses.
