Hi!
I'm looking for a high index polarized lenses (1.6-1.7, all normal lens coatings, colour brown).
I'd like to get transmission down to about 15%, to be used for paddling, skiing (and driving).
My local optician told me that he could not find any lenses which would meet my criteria. As a result, he recommended standard 1.5 lenses. His recommendation was based on the following arguments:
- meaningless weight savings (2.5gr or 0.9oz for 2 lenses)
- frames can easily accommodate thicker lenses (no visual implications).
I am -2.5/-2.75. These are my frames:

2 questions:
1. Is he right that there are no high index polarized lenses?
2. Is he right that high index polarized lenses would not be a sensible choice (even if they existed) because of modest weight savings and lack of any visual improvements?
Thks a lot for any comments.
