Since this plastic has a higher refractive index (refraction is how light is bent when passing through a lens). A higher refractive index means that thinned lenses alter how colours appear and slightly degrade the quality of what you see. That\u2019s why we here at Bonhomme \u00e0 lunette prefer looking for the right kind of frames <strong>before<\/strong> resorting to thinning. Sometimes you can get thinner lenses just by choosing the right frame shape and size.<\/p>\n<p>And above all, it allows our customers to save on these costs, which can make a significant difference on the bill.<\/p>\n<h3>Choosing your frames carefully can make a big difference<\/h3>\n<p>When choosing a lens for a strong prescription, the ratio between the two curvatures (internal and external) must be higher, and this means thicker lenses. Choosing an optimal frame that suits your face and perfectly centres your eyes in the frame helps minimize the amount of thinning needed for your lenses.<\/p>\n<p>The Bonhomme \u00e0 lunettes team offers all thinness options at affordable prices. We are also proud to offer you advice and expertise in keeping with our mission: helping people see clearly without going broke.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quand vous achetez des lunettes, il y a in\u00e9vitablement une panoplie d&rsquo;options de disponible.
