My wifes was not so bad till this time...now they are o.d -6.50 cyl is -0.50 axis 025 now o.s is -6.50 cyl is 5p.h...now is the bad for ones eyes ...?/////will her galsses be thick...and last what does 5 ph mean??//

Answer 1

5ph is bad handwriting for sph, which means sphere ( no cyl).

Glasses thickness will depend on size of frame and lens material as well as prescription.  With a smaller frame and a high index material thickness will not be too bad.

Answer 2

Your wife is -6.50 short sighted, the lens thickness will depend on which type of frame she picks. The lense for a short sighted person is thickness at both edges.

I am +5.50 long sighted & I the thickness is more in the centre of the lens. I always pay to have thinner lens (which is expensive).

The optician will be able to show you the thickness of the lens & also show you how thin the lens can be. I have just paid out for thinner lens which is 1.67.

Hope Ive helped.

Good luck
