    A while ago I posted the following question about my perscription and
    lens options. I was wondering if there has been any new updates on
    lens materials that would alter my choices?

    Thanks,

    Mauro
    Mauro,

    Sola/AO does make a single vision lens with a 1.6 index, 1.22 density
    (that's
    much lighter than any other 1.6 lens that I know of) with a 42 abbe.
    The
    material is called Finalite. Lens name is AO XT. This would be my
    recommendation. Ask for the "finished" version. Center thickness
    should be about
    1.1mm. If fit properly, chroma (color fringing and blur) will not be
    an issue
    for most single vision eyeglass wearers.

    Hope this helps
