Hi, I am new to the forum here, and am trying to get the absolute thinnest pair of glasses, with the best optical clarity. I would like to know if anyone knows the abbe value of a 1.74 high index, 1.8 or 1.9 glass lens. I have had problems in the past with chromatic aberration in both a polycarbonate and 1.67 high index lens. I am wearing a Trivex lens now, which is optically great but much thicker than I would like. I am thinking of ordering glass lenses from visions of canada but they are quite expensive so I want to be sure these lenses would be best before I order them. My prescription is -7.25 with -1.75 astigmatism in both eyes.
I am also wondering if the glass lenses will make the eyes appear more normal in size than the plastic do. I have heard that aspheric lenses are better for this, but I also heard that is mostly in farsighted cases. Thanks -- Check us out at the oft-updated http://glassyeyes.blogspot.com!
