Online retailers who carry thick lens blanks?

[dashrockwell]

I have a -16.00 Rx and am struggling to find an affordable online retailer who will manufacture lenses for my eyeglasses the way I want them. Both Zenni Optical and GlassesShop.com will fill my Rx, so that's not the issue. What I have found is that the stock lenses used by these retailers seem to top out at around 12mm thick or so. With many of the frames I like, this results in a quasi-myodisc effect, where there is a noticeable "bowl" of Rx power and then an area of flat, prescriptionless lens near the edge.

I don't like the aesthetic of this and would prefer to simply have a thicker lens with the corrective area extending all the way to the edge - i.e., without the "myodisc effect". I am aware that depending on the frame, the resulting lenses could be close to an inch thick... but I prefer that to the appearance of a myodisc.

Can anyone suggest an online retailer who is able to accommodate this request?

Thank you!
