Lens Thickness Assistand for High Myopia PT

[mbiker]

I have a patient that has come in looking for a new pair of glasses. He is concerned with the thickness of the lens. Thus a 1.74 Essilor will be used.

His script is a -8 with a +1.5 and a PD of 62.

The two frames he has narrowed down to are:

Martin & Martin - Tom (50x16), No ED is spec'd
OGI - 7132 (50x18), ED of 52 is listed

Which of these frames produce a lens that is thinner for this specific patient.

What would the lens thickness be for each respective pair.

Thickness will depend on cylinder axis. With those two frames it shouldn't be much different.
