Choosing the right lens thickness matters

When buying prescription glasses, lens thickness can affect both how your eyewear looks and how comfortable it feels. At SpecHaus, we keep things simple with two high-quality options — Standard and Premium Thin — so you can find your perfect balance of comfort, clarity, and style.

1. Standard Lenses

Best for: Low prescriptions (up to ±2.00)

Material: CR39 or standard plastic lens

Advantages: Affordable, lightweight, and perfect for everyday use

Considerations: For higher prescriptions, edges may appear slightly thicker — more noticeable in rimless or thin metal frames.

2. Premium Thin Lenses

Best for: Medium to higher prescriptions (±2.25 to ±4.00)

Material: 1.67 high-index lens

Advantages: Slimmer profile for a sleeker look, reduces lens edge visibility, lighter to wear all day

Considerations: Slightly higher cost, but ideal if you want a more refined finish in your frames.

How to choose the right lens for you

If your prescription is on the lower side, Standard lenses are perfect. For stronger prescriptions or if you prefer the most discreet look, Premium Thin lenses are worth the upgrade.
