Big eyes look of Glasses — How to get rid of

Are your big bulky reading glasses making your eyes look bigger than they actually are? If your eyes are small, then it won’t matter that they appear bigger. But you have high power lenses and your eyes look very unnatural under them. Then you would definitely hate wearing your prescription glasses.

Glasses are magnifying lenses. Cheap prescription glasses for myopia make your eyes appear smaller and the ones for hyperopia make them appear bigger. This magnification or minimization is only a natural ability of the lenses. You can’t do anything about it unless you change your prescription glasses.

There are lenses that do not affect the look of your eyes behind the lenses.

High Index lenses that make your eyes look as they are

These are specially designed lenses to be flexible when reflecting light. This type of lenses are lightweight, thin and doesn’t affect the look of your eyes behind the lenses.

If you compare high index lenses and normal plastic lenses, a very noticeable difference is the width, especially for high prescription power.
