Hello all,

I have a patient who is very particular about the thickness of her lenses. Her RX is OD -11.50+1.50X15 OS -12.25+0.50X150 with a 2.25 ADD OU. She ordered a Physio Enhanced in 1.74 high index with Crizal Avance. When they came in there was a lot of thickness on the sides but that should be expected with the type of RX she has, right? Well, when she came to pick up she was furious. She stated that in Colorado she ordered her glasses and they were always thin and you could barely see the edges sticking out from the frame. Now, she also said this was back in 2008. Was there a type of lens being used at that time that is no longer available that would get the lenses much thinner? Also, are there any other options to look at for the lenses before we discuss choosing a different frame. She is in a metal frame now (A: 52 B: 29 ED:52 DBL:17) and if there are no other options for lenses we will look at moving into a plastic frame to hide a little more of the thickness. Also, we use an Essilor lab so I would need options that they would be capable of doing.

If you have any advice or suggestions at all, they would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
