Thread: Ageing vision, glasses lenses and options.

As someone that wears glasses 16+ hrs a day, since 18months old
I go for ultra high index plastic lenses(poly), get the anti scratch coating and don't treat them as disposables.
CR39 is Refractive Index 1.5 or so, ask options for 1.67 or 1.74 lenses
Learn to not touch your lenses unless with a CLEAN lens cloth and always wet with cleaning fluid.
I upgrade every two years regardless.

A -0.75 is a very mild prescription and shouldn't be that costly to make especially here in NZ.
who is your optometrist brand? maybe time for a second opinion
Mine are only in the order of $700, ultra high index plastic-(Poly) anti scratch, anti reflection and transition- 4 week cut time though.

As a side note, Ill point out as a driver, Glass in thinner prescriptions has been known to do nasty things when introduced to vehicle airbags
