Can you please describe the downsides of mixing refractive indices for eye glasses lenses?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't do it: Here are the issues: glasses will look funny; this may induce a difference in the way things look between eyes making the glasses intolerable. If you go ahead and do this and you get used to it, all of your future glasses will have to be made in the same, unusual way.
