Aspheric lenses

Lenses that provide special visual and cosmetic benefits for stronger corrections and increase edge to edge clarity. Flatter than conventional lenses, aspheric lenses reduce the "bulgy" appearance of strong plus lenses (far-sighted corrections) and improve the appearance of finished eyewear.

Near-sighted persons also benefit from thinner, lighter weight glasses when the lenses are aspheric. Aspheric lenses are positioned closer to the face so there is less eye magnification with farsighted corrections and less "small eyes" look with nearsighted corrections. Aspheric lenses come in high index materials for the ultimate attractive thin lenses.
