[Amiya]

How do I know which high index lens I need for my prescription?

[Amiyah]

High index lens is thinner and lighter than lens of other materials. High index lens is especially good for people who have a higher prescription. People with a prescription of +/-3.00 D or more can benefit from high index lens. If you have a prescription of more than +/-3.00 D, you can choose high index lens for your glasses lenses. But what kind of high index lens you should choose depending on your prescription. So you should go to see an optometrist to have an eye exam and the doctor will recommend you the type of high index lens that can fit you properly.
