What is the best eyeglass lens and frame for -13 prescription (severe nearsighted)?

I have been looking for the best thinnest lens possible for my -13 prescription. So far, I have heard about Zeiss and Nikon make one of the best lenses. Also, I am looking for the perfect frame for my prescription, taking in consideration of a very wide width face and flat nose :(. Help please!


Zeiss does a 1.9 lantal lens. its glass so gives you the thinnest finish possible - but downside is obvious issues with safety and the lens is heavier too due to it being a denser material. the best lens to go for would be a 1.74 plastic. its high index and the thinnest plastic available. as its plastic it wont be as heavy.

Go for a plastic frame. this will help with the cosmesis as it will hide most of the edge thickness. In a metal frame you will be able to see the edges of the lens hanging over in front and behind. Also something with thick arms and sides will help to hide the wdge thickness of your lenses.

the smaller the frame the thinner the lenses will be at the edges as most of the thickness in your prescription is on the outer edges

New Prescription Glass | frostier.net

As time goes by, the coating wears off and eventually it was a pain to drive at night. The glare caused irritations on my right eyes. Finally after 3 years or so, I decided to source for a new place to get my glasses done. In between recommendation, I went to the few optical stores. It is kind of weird in Malaysia that most of the optical stores doesn’t have an optometrist to get the readings.

After I get my prescriptions from a few, I settled down with one I am comfortable with. Instead of looking at the frames, the first thing I was looking at were the lens. Compared to my knowledge many years back, the were huge range of different branded spectacle lenses. Not just Hoya. There are also Essilor, AO, Norville, Nikon, Pentax, Rodenstock, Sola and Zeiss and much more. I was told that Hoya no longer having the most market share. Which I used to be told of every time I asked my friend, Tony what lens should I look out for.

Wingz got his new prescription glasses earlier this year with Zeis. He added that it comes along with 1 year warranty. Proof of warranty? The warranty card. Even my Nikon SeeCoat comes with a warranty card. Guess it means nothing because according to the few sites I visited, it was said that the lifespan of a glasses is between 12-18 months. Trying to source about the warranty and how it applies, I realized that the Nikon prescription lens in Malaysia are under Essilor Malaysia. This blog author highly recommended Essilor lens 2 years back.
