High-index thin lenses

High-index lenses are made from a material that bends light more, so they can be thinner and lighter than standard plastic lenses for the same prescription.

Who they suit

  • People with a strong prescription, where standard lenses look thick and heavy.
  • People who want a lighter pair of glasses for all-day wear.

Good to know

  • The higher the index number (for example 1.60, 1.67 or 1.74), the thinner the lens. Ask us which indexes are available for your prescription.
  • The benefit is largest for strong prescriptions. For a weak prescription, standard lenses are usually enough.
  • Frame choice matters. A smaller frame uses less lens and makes the edge thinner.

Price and ordering

The price shown on a frame is for the frame only. The lens price depends on your prescription, and we confirm it with you on WhatsApp before you pay. See lens price in Pakistan and how to order prescription glasses online.
