Is it possible to calculate the lens thickness from my prescription
using Hoya 1.60 Index and 1.70 Index Eyry lens. The lens will be
reglazed into a pair of Hoya Rimless Glasses.

Right Lens:

Sphere : -5.50
Cyl : -1.00
Axis: 20
Prism: 1.5 Base Out

Left Lens

Sphere: -6.00
Cyl: -1.00
Axis: 5
Prism: 1.5 Base Out

Pupilary Distance: 70mm

Bridge Size: 19mm
Lens Length : Width 30mm, Length 49mm

Thank You

Shane

Shane,

A round lens will be about 5.2mm for the 1.60 index and about 4.6mm for 1.70,
assuming a 1.5mm center thickness. Your frame is rectangular, increasing the
thickness .5mm to 1.00mm, more if there are very sharp corners, or has a shape
that requires an unusually long diagonal length.

Hope this helps,
