The phrase you're looking for is high-index lens material. There may
be an associated number like 1.57, 1.61, 1.67, and 1.74. The higher
the number, the thinner the resulting lens.
There is also an online thickness calculator that estimates how thick
the lenses will be in any material. Gives you a better idea of what
to expect, and whether the additional cost will be worth it to you.
