Hi, I'm considering buying new eyeglasses from the web after some bad experience at a local Optical shop (paid 0 for frame and generic high index (?) lens, probably 1.60 (1.59?), which edge measures 7.5 mm): My prescription is: R -8.25 -2.75 14 L -8.25 -2.00 167 I'm interested in the thinnest possible lens that would be comfortable. I'm willing to spend as much as 0 for the lens alone. Looking at Eyeglasses.com choice of ultra-high lenses, they have optima 1.66, pentax 1.67, and hoya 1.71. Given my prescription would these lenses give any trouble. Should I forget ultra high index and go with high index instead. Any personal experience or help would be appreciated. Any other good places to shop besides Eyeglasses.com (they seem to have the best web site)? Also what kind of frames / frame size would you recommend for my prescpription. I have a oval face shape. The one I got from my local shop (I think the frame is called Baron?) seems too small and feels uncomfortable. Thanks for your help, Mike
