Sly_Paragon Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I recently ordered my glasses from clearly contacts and got the free lense option, which is the 1.59 index polycarbonate. I've worn them for about a week straight and they feel a bit heavy? This is my first time wearing glasses. My prescription Right and Left Sphere: -2.00 Cyl: +0.50 Axis: 90 Pd: 63.0 Should I upgrade my lenses to the 1.61 high index aspheric or the 1.67 index or is that overkill? I am going tomorrow so I need your input as soon as possible! http://www.clearlycontacts.ca/lensselectionguide Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox Mulder Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I second that. You should get a monocle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 My guess is that you're just not used to wearing glasses yet. Give it a month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherwise Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 My guess is that you're just not used to wearing glasses yet. Give it a month or so. this,^ or maybe it's that your frames are heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FramingDragon Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 What are your frames made of? Typically the cheaper, metal ones tend to be heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_Paragon Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 I feel that I'm used to them already and the frame is pretty lightweight. Its just at the end of the day it feels heavy and it sorta weights down on my nose making it fall a little. I think I'll just dish out the extra $50 for the 1.61 index and see if there's any noticeable improvement in comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronthecivil Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Find out what the most expensive ones are. Then get one level below that. Usually the best bang for buck. Other thing is that if you are going to wear glasses a lot get a pair of prescription sunglasses. They are by far my favorites. Awesome for driving, golfing, or just being outdoors in general on a sunny day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonLever Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's a pretty light prescription. You don't really need 1.67 index. -2.00 +.5 is nothing. You can even function without glasses. When you get to +3, +4, +5 that is when you need the 1.67 index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the 1.61 index, just waiting for them to arrive now I'll hold off on the sunglasses until summer.That's a pretty light prescription. You don't really need 1.67 index. -2.00 +.5 is nothing.

I've been without glasses my whole life, and been able to function, but having glasses has "opened my eyes". I feel reborn lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogbyte Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You barely need glasses. That's overkill really. I'm at 6.5 and 7.25, I need the index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His prescription is very similar to mine and without glasses, about 3 feet away is blurry enough that I can't read without squinting and no way I can drive properly.

I have to second this. My prescription is -1.75 and there's no way I could drive without my contacts/glasses. I would never be able to read any of the signs. I used to frequently go without them around the house but if anyone ever asked me what something small was from across the room I would never have any idea. Watching the TV without them on is a pain too. I have to sit annoyingly close to have any chance to be able to make out any writing on the screen.
