A member asked:
Can a person with thick eyeglasses get thinner lenses ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: The thickness of eyeglass lenses depends on the material of which they're made. In some cases, the same prescription can be made in a material that allows it to be thinner and lighter. Check with your optometrist to see what options you have. - agreed! gt.
