Are you tired of dealing with thick, heavy lenses due to a strong prescription and therefore limited frame choices? Luckily, CliC prescription glasses offer both standard and high index lenses, giving you more options and enhanced comfort. Let’s explore the key differences between these lenses and help you decide which one is right for you.
What Are Standard Index Lenses?
Standard index lenses are the go-to for most people with mild to moderate prescriptions. These lenses are typically made from plastic and have a refractive index between 1.50 and 1.57, which determines how efficiently the lenses bend light to correct your vision. While they provide clear vision and are usually more affordable, the downside is that they tend to be a bit thicker, especially for those with stronger prescriptions. Think of them as reliable but slightly bulky — great for everyday tasks but can feel a little heavy after a while. Fortunately, with CliC prescription glasses, you can enjoy the comfort and style you’re used to, with the convenience of a perfect fit.
What Are High Index Lenses?
If your prescription requires a little extra strength — think nearsightedness or farsightedness that needs a higher level of correction — high index lenses are a sleek, lightweight alternative. With a refractive index starting at 1.59 and going up to 1.74, these lenses are thinner and lighter, making them ideal if you want to avoid the "coke-bottle" effect of thicker lenses. High index lenses pack all the power of standard lenses but in a slimmer, more stylish package. It's like upgrading from a heavy paperback to an ultra-light e-reader — same great content, far less bulk. And, if you pair these lenses with CliC prescription glasses, you’re getting not only high-quality vision correction but also the unbeatable convenience of CliC's innovative design.
Which One Should You Choose?
Choosing between high index and standard index lenses ultimately comes down to two key factors:
-
Your Prescription Strength: If you have a mild prescription and don’t mind slightly thicker lenses, standard index lenses could be the perfect match for you. They’re durable, affordable, and provide clear vision for everyday activities. Standard index lenses are ideal for those who don’t require significant correction and want a dependable, cost-effective option.
-
Your Style Preferences: If you have a stronger prescription or prefer something thinner, lighter, and more streamlined, high index lenses are the way to go. These lenses offer the same corrective power as standard index but with a more polished, slim profile that reduces thickness, even with higher prescriptions. They’re perfect for those who want high-performance vision correction without sacrificing style and comfort.
And guess what? CliC prescription glasses offer both options, so you can choose what works best for your eyes and your lifestyle, all while enjoying the convenience and innovation CliC is known for.
