【High Prescription Glasses Facts You Need to Know 👓】  
900-degree myopia doesn’t have to mean thick and heavy lenses!  

Many people have experienced this:  
You specifically chose the “ultra-thin lens” option, but when you wear them, they still look thick and heavy. Friends see them and say, “Are your glasses made of glass bricks?”  

Why does this happen?  
Lenses are thinnest at the center and gradually become thicker toward the edges.  
The larger the frame, the more edge area there is — and that’s where the thickness becomes most noticeable.  

Fitting glasses is actually a balancing art:  
Lens thickness + frame size + prescription strength + optical center position all need to work together perfectly to achieve truly thin, light, and comfortable results.  

Here are the key tips to avoid common pitfalls:  
1️⃣ Choose smaller frames (smaller optical center = thinner edges)  
   Large trendy frames may look stylish, but for high prescriptions they often make lenses look much thicker  

2️⃣ Consider aspheric design or edge thinning treatment  
   This extra process can reduce edge thickness by about 20%, giving a more natural and flatter appearance  

3️⃣ Prioritize rimless, semi-rimless, or fully rimmed frames with edge coverage  
   Titanium full-rim frames are excellent at hiding thick edges, making the glasses look lighter and more discreet  

⚠️ Important warning:  
If you only upgrade the lens index (e.g., from 1.67 to 1.74) without adjusting the frame size or optical center,  
the lenses might end up even thicker and heavier — you spend more money but get less comfort.
