I just got a new glasses prescription:
OD -5.75 -0.75 x130
OS -6.00 -0.25 x040
For the lenses, I know I'm getting CR39 plastic because it's more durable and cheaper than glass. I just can't decide on which refraction index to get.
I'm given 1.57, 1.61, and 1.67. The higher the number, the thinner and more costly the lenses will be.
Here's my dilemma: if I get 1.57, I'm worried that my glasses will be too thick and I'll look lame. On the other hand, if I get 1.67, I don't want it to look like my glasses are fake because they're too thin. I also don't have a whole lot of money right now. (Poor college student, etc)
Does anybody wear anything in the -6 diopters range? What refraction index do you have? Can anybody recommend anything for me?
