You can use this tool to tell lens thickness with many popular lens materials: http://www.opticampus.com/tools/thickness.php
You're going to need to know a few measurements, such as how wide the lenses are, what your PD (distance between pupils) is and such to use it though. If you pick out a style of frames you like online, they should have all those measurements there, except for your PD. -=# Firewalker #=- On Mar 27, 11:30 am, John <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings everyone!
