Clients have come to depend on Visions of Canada to provide the thinnest eyeglass lenses possible!
Those with difficult prescriptions often come to us after years of frustration with poorly crafted thick
eyeglasses that they cannot even see through. |
Strong prescriptions like a -18.00 prescription (see Mr. G) are regularly done very thin
with our Canadian-ground German Zeiss 1.9 index glass lenses which are not available
for direct purchase in the USA and many other countries including Australia. |
 |
Mr. Kenneth G. has -18 prescription eyeglass lenses.
As you can see we can make these lenses very thin! |
In order to help people with difficult prescriptions from countries where access
to high index glass lenses is unavailable, Visions of Canada has developed an
online ordering procedure. Clients who cannot make it to our location
in person, can now get all the benefits of our incredibly thin eyeglass lenses,
fitted virtually and conveniently delivered by mail. |
Mr. Wes S. pictured below was one such client who recently had his thin
eyeglasses made at Visions of Canada through our online ordering system. |

Hi Paul,
The new spectacles are working out great.
I followed your advice on frame selection and was not disappointed!
The reduction in lens size is incredible, and the improvement in performance
and personal confidence is equally incredible.
Thanks again, the improvement is quite dramatic and well worth the time and expense. Looking forward to my backup pair. Wes Supper - Summer Camp Director

We reduced the thickness of his eyeglass lenses by over 75% giving
him not only clear vision but also an improvement in his confidence
with his new ultra-thin Zeiss 1.9 index glass eyeglass lenses. |

Elena's prescription is -28.00. This is the strongest prescription we have ever done. |
We know you will be completely satisfied with your new
ultra-thin eyeglasses from Visions of Canada! |

What are High Index Glass Lenses? |
The higher the refractive index of the material, the lower amount of curvature is
required to be ground on the inside of the lens to create your prescription.
For example: The thickest lens has a refractive index of 1.5
a 1.60 index lens is approx. 25% thinner than a 1.5 index lens
a 1.67 index lens is approx. 40% thinner than a 1.5 index lens
a 1.70 index lens is approx. 50% thinner than a 1.5 index lens
a 1.80 index lens is approx. 60% thinner than a 1.5 index lens
a 1.90 index lens is approx. 75% thinner than a 1.5 index lens
The thinnest lens has a refractive index of 1.9 |
