Probably a silly question (dispensing not my forte!!) Have a px -13.00 ish RE -11.00 ish LE wants a high index plastic, but really likes a light cosmetic tint (don't ask me why, I hate tints, but not me that's going to wear them!!) I'd usually use Essilor's 1.74, but this is untintable, anyone know of an equivalent that can be tinted??????

Sola do a 1.7 aspheric which can be really thin and can be tinted - forget its name. Comes with anti glare

Her best bet though it glass high index

Thanks for the tips!! Discovered rooting through my Nikon catalogue, that their 1.74 can be tinted!!!

 

She won't wear glass as found too heavt in the past, she currently wears Cls every day, but actually took my advice about having up to date spex as back up given the high Rx (there's a first time for everything!!!)
