What Frames Are Best for Thick Lenses?

Plastic (also known as zyl) frames are lightweight and customizable enough to fit your personality, making them an ideal choice for you if you have a strong prescription that requires thicker lenses. A great advantage of plastic frames is that less of the lens will stick out.

Which frame is best for high prescription?

High index lens frames have been designed to hold high index lenses. They're lighter, thinner and more comfortable than their counterparts. These frames are primarily for people who require high index lenses due to a strong prescription, but some may work with standard lenses as well.

Do bigger frames mean thicker lenses?

Like above mentioned, larger frame will result in thicker lens. As such, if your power is higher than -5.00, you may want to filter out the oversize frames.
