A member asked:
What would be the best high index glasses for farsightedness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Usually, high index glasses will enable your specs to be thinner, thus avoiding the coke bottle syndrome of your eyes being magnified by the lens power. Speak to your optician about what is right for you. Good luck!
