Please excuse my ignorance, but I'm seeking advice on a lens material choice. My wife has a very strong prescription (below). After visiting a few shops to ask about lenses and materials, I've been shocked at how little many of the salespeople know about what's out there. We've picked out a rather small frame.
Seven or eight years ago she had some frames sent to Germany to have some sort of Zeiss lenses made, which came out very well (doing a bit of searching at Zeiss leads me to believe the material was Tital 1.7). I understand that there have been new developments in various plastics and glass materials that are probably better.
From the few people that seem to know anything one said that the Hoya 1.7 is the only one to use, and another said the same about the Seiko 1.67. I imagine there are others...
Can anyone give me a recommendation? I'm not really concerned about cost. We're interested in the best material (balance of optical quality and thinness).
If I'm posting in the wrong area, I'll gladly take suggestions....
