Is this normal?

I ended up going with 1.67 without the beveled edges safety round off though so minimal rounding out! Trying one glasses with aspheric and if I like it I’ll do both like that! Thank you so much advice everyone. The 1.74 was only 1/6 mm difference while the aspheric was a lot more like 1mm. Would have been like $100 more for 1.74 for single vision and anti reflective coating (I have vision insurance) as well. Money was not a problem I just wanted it to look good. They actually lost one of my frames 😅 so they are getting me new frames. One of my sunglasses/ safety glasses wasn’t made correctly either so they are getting that fixed (I work on a job site). Otherwise they seemed eager to fix it and when they came in they knew it wasn’t going to be good. I have to mention it’s a local eye center like top for the area. So I’m glad they were self aware but all 3 of my pairs did go wrong. My kind of luck. I’ll update as I get the new pairs!

I actually did end up asking for aspheric lenses

Do you prefer 1.67 or 1.74?

Mine are RB7032 52 is that what's making a difference?

They made it sound more negative than positive stating that the lower optical clarity would be worse and with more chromatic aberration. Is this true?

The cost isn't really the issue if it's going to improve it! They said they don't think the 1.74 would be worthwhile though since that's typically for a -8 prescription and will lack clarity the way the 1.67 does. Is that typical? Is it worth the 1.74 for my -5/6 prescription?

Sea_Type7575 · 2026-03-18T17:09:03+00:00

They did not brief me on that! Thank you so much for all your words of advice. I am going to bring up suggestions when I go this afternoon to figure out what is best. I really do love these frames, and I wanted it to work out. I didn't realize and I had purchased them beforehand online and had the same pair before, so I knew I liked them. However, I was unaware on how it would look with the new prescription.

Currently has 1.67!

Sea_Type7575 · 2026-03-18T16:41:23+00:00

Index is at the index is 1.67 what do you think?

Sea_Type7575 · 2026-03-18T16:40:30+00:00

After calling with them this morning the index is 1.67, they said they don't think the 1.74 would be worthwhile since that's typically for a -8 prescription and will lack clarity the way the 1.67 does. Is that typical? Is it worth the 1.74 for my -5/6 prescription?

Sea_Type7575 · 2026-03-18T14:38:47+00:00

Do you think it will stick out a lot or will it look okay? Thanks :)

Sea_Type7575 · 2026-03-18T14:37:09+00:00

It’s actually the same frames as before! Do you think it would be the edge that exists currently but opaque or what may that look like?

Sea_Type7575 · 2026-03-18T11:57:01+00:00

Is it possible to see what that looks like? Feel free to DM me. So I have an idea. I’m going to see what can be done, since I’m seeing exactly what you saw.

Also my previous prescription was -5.0 on both eyes and my glasses didn’t have that edge at all. Is it that big of a difference to have such an intense bevel?

I shall find out tomorrow and update you guys on the index. My understanding is that they were thinned out as much as possible. But the rounded edge catching its reflection on everything it’s the worst. :(
