Hi group,

I apologise if this gets asked all the time, but I'd  like to get an
objective opinion on the appropriate lenses for the new frames I'm
buying from giarre.com. The prices may seem a little steep due the the
crap Australian dollar. Here is my prescription (Right followed by
Left)

Sphere: -2.00, -2.00
Cylinder: -0.75, -0.75
Axis: 110, 85
PD: 58 mm / Monocular R 29mm, L 29mm

Thanks very much in advance,

James

Hard resin lens (CR39) FREE- Standard

Single-Vision - 0-Hard resin (CR39)
It's a monofocal standard material (designed spherical). CR 39 is
undoubtedly the most common optical polymer in the ophthalmic field. It
is a heat hardening resin and as such it is not attacked by any
chemical agent. It has a higher scratch resistance than the other
plastic materials. The specific weight is 1.3 versus 2.53 of glass and
this means that, with the same thickness, the weight of a CR 39 lens is
approximately 48% lighter than a similar one made of glass.

Polycarbonate Aspheric 1.59 - Premium (SMSR)

Single-Vision - Polycarbonate
Aspheric (superior optics): A basic principle of optics dictates that a
slight distortion is created when wearers look away from the center of
a conventional lens, whether the gaze is directed to the left or right,
above or below. Aspheric lens designs reduce or eliminate such
distortions. This is because, as the eye travels away from the center
of the lens, the front curve changes, keeping the optics crisp and
clear. This is why all expensive camera lenses feature aspheric curves.
