People with high prescriptions often face unique challenges in finding suitable eyewear. Thick lenses can distort the appearance of the eyes and create an unattractive, 'bug-eye' effect. This can be discouraging and affect one's confidence. But fear not, because at J.HYDE, we have the solutions you need.
Thinning Down High Prescriptions
Thinning down high prescriptions is an art, and our experienced team is well-versed in it. We take precise digital measurements, with the Zeiss Visufit 1000 at our City Centre studio and the Zeiss i.Terminal at Mere Green. Accurate measurements help us keep lens thickness down, for a lighter, more comfortable pair of glasses.
Choosing the Right Frames for High Prescriptions
Selecting the right frames is equally important. Here's what to look for:
-
High-Index Lenses: These lenses bend light more efficiently, allowing for thinner and lighter glasses. Every J.HYDE prescription lens is Zeiss with a 1.6 index as standard.
-
Small Frames: Opt for smaller, round or oval frames as they can help minimise the thickness of the lenses and provide a stylish, sophisticated look.
-
Anti-Reflective Coating: Our Zeiss lenses come with DuraVision Plus Platinum UV as standard, which reduces reflections and improves clarity. This is especially helpful with high prescriptions.

Why Zeiss Lenses Suit High Prescriptions
Our partnership with Zeiss reflects our commitment to quality and aesthetics. Zeiss lenses are known for their clarity and precision. Here's how they make a difference for those with high prescriptions:
-
High Precision: Zeiss lenses are made to your exact prescription and measurements.
-
Reduced Distortion: Zeiss lens designs minimise distortion, for a more natural appearance of your eyes.
-
Aesthetic Appeal: The anti-reflective coatings on Zeiss lenses reduce glare and enhance the aesthetics of your eyewear, making your high prescription glasses look sleek and stylish.
At J.HYDE, eyewear is more than a necessity; it's a statement of your personality and style. Thorough eye tests, precise measurement and Zeiss lenses mean that people with high prescriptions can see clearly and look good doing so.
