ThinLenses are the High Index Lenses Specialists. Unlike most other websites and High Street Opticians we offer a comprehensive range of High Index Lens options. The latest innovation in High Index Lens technology is Double Aspheric Lenses. Standard High Index Lenses are only surfaced on one side. Double Aspheric Lenses, also known as Bi Aspheric lenses, are surfaced on both sides of the lens giving them a much flatter & thinner look.

- 1.61 Plastic Double Aspheric Lenses £ 129
- 1.67 Plastic Double Aspheric Lenses £ 179
- 1.74 Plastic Double Aspheric Lenses £ 242
Advantages of Double Aspheric Lenses
- Flatter and thinner than standard High Index Lenses as they have been surfaced on both sides
Lightweight & durable - Double Aspheric Lenses are available for both single vision & varifocal
- Can be tinted and made into Sunglasses
- Double Aspheric Lenses can be fitted into any type of frame including rimless and semi rimless
- Double Aspheric Lenses reduce the eye magnification or reduction problem some people have with stronger prescriptions
- Perfect for everyday wear including sporting activities.
Disadvantages of Double Aspheric Lenses
- Even with a good quality scratch resistant coating, care still needs to be taken as plastic lenses are easier to scratch.
- For stronger prescriptions, the overall result will not be as thin as Glass High Index Lenses.

I turned to Thinlenses because I have such a complex prescription that my optician could no longer find anyone who manufactures my prescription to a 1.9 index. I have to admit I was terrified about ordering because my prescription is VERY complex (-15.5 and -16.75) and I really could not believe that somebody could make me a pair of glasses that would not only fit me, but also be the right prescription for just £244 including frames (the cheapest quote I could get for LENSES ONLY at 1.7 index was £550). Ash was extremely helpful and reassuring and so I placed my order with trepidation. However, when my glasses arrived I was astonished to find they actually fitted me better and gave me better vision than my old ones! And they are so lightweight and comfortable too. I really cannot recommend this optician enough - if they can deal with my prescription, they can deal with anything!

Use the for the first time - sent my glasses to be re-glazed with a new prescription. Have a high prescription so went for the super thin flat lens,
Sent on the Thursday I think and had them back by the Sat - amazing service and the lenses look great.
My optician didn't even offer me these lens (just the high index ones). Next time I will get my prescription from the optician and order them online.
Great service

Verified OrderAstonishingly great
Astonishingly great. The best customer service I’ve ever experienced, speedy and well packaged delivery & most importantly perfect lenses. This was my first experience of ordering anything optical online, and with a prescription in the high numbers (over -13), it felt like a bit of a risk. With the price difference though, compared to a high street optician, I thought it was worth it & i’m completely satisfied that I made the right choice. I used the reglazing service and opted for the 1.9 index glass lenses. The vision is perfect & aesthetically they’re so much more subtle than the thick plastic lenses I’ve previously been recommended. Many thanks Ash for your instant replies and help.

Verified OrderA very ethical, honest, professional company. Highly recommended.
I'm in the U.S. and double aspheric lenses are not available here. I wanted the thinnest lenses possible due to having high myopia which typically results in very thick lenses. After doing much research, I was fortunate to discover Thinlenses.co.uk.
I called them to discuss my prescription and then called again before placing the order. Ash Mehta spoke with me both times. He is a gentleman, informative, knowledgeable and very patient. I then placed the order online using their website. The eyeglasses arrived within about 2 weeks and I was very pleased with the results. I did need a slight frame adjustment due to my unusual situation and my local optician did this in 5 minutes or less for no fee. I would happily do business with this very ethical, honest, professional company again in the future. I would most definitely recommend them to anyone looking for professionally-made, high-quality eyeglasses. This is a company that really went above and beyond to make sure I am pleased with their service. Thank you, Ash Mehta!
