So — yes, you get a finished pair of glasses. Thin frames can structurally hold high prescriptions too. As long as the lens is thick enough.
Aesthetics matter too. If that thickness strikes you as unacceptable, go for a rounder frame and a narrower lens. Edge thickness responds to that dramatically.
Funny thing: the stronger someone’s prescription, the more fiercely they want a big lens in the frame.
But there are ways to work with that: high-index lenses, different manufacturers, calculating the result in software beforehand.
Why bring all this up? Prescription, frame and lenses add up to a great many possible pairs of glasses. Choosing one is something we do just about every day.
What if we fit a +7.00 prescription into a metal Mykita frame?
