A member asked:
For what degree of nearsightedness are thinner lenses recommended?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most any ...: It is always nice to get the thinnest lenses possible as long as they are impact resistant such as polycarbonate. Once the prescription gets above -4.00 or so it can make a big difference in how the lenses appear.
