Shopper's Guide to High Prescription Glasses
Domande frequenti
What are high prescription glasses?
High prescription glasses are eyeglasses made to correct strong refractive errors, including high myopia, high hyperopia, and significant astigmatism. They are typically fitted with high index lenses that are thinner and lighter than standard lenses. At Kraywoods, all our high prescription glasses frames are compatible with premium high index lenses, crafted in our Canadian optical lab.
What is considered a high prescription for glasses?
A prescription is generally considered high when it exceeds ±4.00 diopters in sphere power, or ±2.00 diopters in cylinder (astigmatism). At these levels, standard lenses become noticeably thicker and heavier, which is why high index prescription glasses are strongly recommended for the best results.
What are the thinnest lenses for high prescription glasses?
The thinnest glasses lenses for high prescription are made from high index materials, 1.67 for moderate-to-strong prescriptions and 1.74 for the strongest. The right choice depends on your specific prescription, which our in-house optician reviews with every order. All Kraywoods high index lenses include anti-scratch coating, anti-reflective coating, and UV protection.
How high can a glasses prescription go?
There is no hard upper limit, glasses prescriptions can go very high. Most high prescription glasses online accommodate up to approximately ±20.00 diopters, though the majority of people fall in the ±4.00 to ±10.00 range. If you have an unusually strong prescription, contact us at customercare@kraywoods.com and our optician will confirm what's available for you.
What are the best glasses frames for high prescription?
The best glasses frames for high prescription are typically small-to-medium in size with a round or oval shape. Smaller frames reduce lens surface area, which directly minimizes edge thickness. Full-rim frames also work better than rimless styles, as the rim conceals the lens edges. Browse our collection of high prescription glasses frames to find your match.
What is the best glasses shape for high prescription?
The best glasses shape for high prescription is round, oval, or a compact rectangular frame. These shapes keep the lens area small, reducing edge thickness for both minus and plus prescriptions. Our full collection of glasses for high prescription includes a wide range of flattering shapes designed to work beautifully with strong lenses.
What are coke bottle glasses?
Coke bottle glasses is a term used to describe the thick, beveled-edge appearance of high prescription glasses made with standard-index lenses. This look is largely avoidable today, high index prescription glasses dramatically reduce lens thickness, and choosing a smaller frame further minimizes visible edges when shopping for high prescription glasses online.
How do I make high prescription glasses look better?
Choose high index lenses (1.67 or 1.74), the thinnest glasses lenses for high prescription, to significantly reduce visible thickness. Pair them with a smaller, full-rim frame in a round or oval shape to keep edges hidden. Anti-reflective coating, included with all Kraywoods lenses, also reduces glare that can draw attention to thicker lenses.

What lens index do I need for my high prescription?
As a general guide: up to ±4.00 diopters suits a standard 1.50 lens; ±4.00–±6.00 is best with 1.67 high index; and above ±6.00 calls for a 1.74 high index lens, the thinnest available. Our in-house optician reviews every prescription and will ensure your glasses with high prescription are fitted with the right lens for your vision needs.
