Buying high index lenses for a mild prescription is throwing money away.
Standard plastic handles low corrections with total clarity. On the flip side, putting basic lenses into a strong script leaves you with heavy, thick edges that distort your peripheral sight every time you turn your head.
The number on your doctor's slip only solves half the equation. Lens thickness, base curve, and frame depth determine how clear your vision feels when you look away from dead center.
At Spectacles Vision Centre in Huntsville, our opticians match your specific numbers to the proper material index. You get thin edges and crisp sightlines without paying for lens upgrades you never needed in the first place.
Did your optician explain your lens index options the last time you ordered glasses?
