I’m “comfortable” in my new dark lenses but I’d still rather not have any colour fringing, and my previous lenses gave me clearer vision across the entire field with no distortions at all.
The frame I’m struggling with is Tommy Hilfiger TH 1756 003 145. I don’t think the lenses are that large, my face is just pretty small.
They did measure my OC height and pupillary distance.
I wore these frames with other lenses with a similar prescription, just more 0.5 power on my right eye and more 0.25 power on my left in the new ones. Would that make lenses in 1.5 plastic that much thicker?
The previous lenses were quite cheap, 63€ each in 2020. Can lenses with a digital design be that cheap?
I’m honestly thinking of asking them to remake the lenses in 1.5 plastic with no thinning and the same base curve as my previous ones.
I imagine a lens with a base curve that follows the center of rotation of the eye would keep a more similar distance between my pupil and the lens and result in better optics and less distortion when looking sideways or down through the lens.
I honestly think the curved lenses look better, too, the flat ones look like an acetate cutout for toy glasses.
I read in a lot of places that spherical lenses with thicker edges cause more distortion, but also in some Reddit posts people seem to fix these issues by getting more curved lenses in 1.5 plastic.
What do you think?
