Glass High Index Lenses

ThinLenses are the High Index Lenses Specialists. Unlike most other websites and High Street Opticians we offer you the complete choice of both Plastic High Index Lenses and Glass High Index Lenses. Catering for all prescriptions, we have a wide variety of Glass Lenses ranging from standard Glass 1.5 Index to top of the range super thin Glass 1.9 Index lenses.

For stronger prescriptions Glass High Index lenses are significantly thinner than the equivalent Plastic High Index Lenses. Glass lenses have superior visual clarity, and will give the best overall result aesthetically.

Advantages of Glass High Index Lenses

Superb visual clarity
Recommended for people with strong “minus” prescriptions (ie short or near sighted prescriptions) as they are always thinner than the equivalent plastic lenses.
Glass lenses are very difficult to scratch
Available for both single vision & varifocal

Disadvantages of Glass High Index Lenses

Marginally heavier than plastic lenses (most people will not notice the weight difference after a few days of wearing them)
They are a bit more fragile than plastic lenses. They are ideal for daily wear but not recommended for people participating in high impact sports.
Only available as clear 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

Astonishingly 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.

A 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!

Thinlenses were the only company

Thinlenses were the only company to stock the glasses that I wanted, after accidentally breaking my two pairs: they couldn’t have been more helpful in informing me when the frames had arrived at their office, and requesting me to send the broken ones in. They swiftly put my existing lenses into the new frames and returned to me. From start to finish in under 7 days. Superb!
