Choosing the right lens index can make a world of difference in both your visual comfort and personal style. From the balanced 1.57 to the super-thin 1.74, each lens type offers unique benefits tailored to different needs.

Please note that the recommended refractive index is related to the prescription and astigmatism. It is advisable to follow the advice of an optometrist. Optometrists also take into account your profession when recommending the refractive index, as high-index lenses may cause chromatic aberration (color distortion). Therefore, professions related to nail art, art, and visual fields may recommend using low-index lenses.
