Who We Support
High Power Lenses Options for Different Customer Needs
Select the appropriate high power lenses design, material, treatment and finishing from the prescription, frame, intended use and destination-market requirements.
Custom single-vision RX construction selected after complete prescription, material, diameter, thickness and frame review.
High-prescription lens paired with a compatible blue-filtering material or treatment after residual color and transmission review.
High-prescription lens combined with a compatible photochromic system and specified activated color, transmission and coating requirements.
Branded photochromic-compatible high-power program subject to material, color, coating and regional availability confirmation.
High-power sports option reviewed for frame trace, curve, wrap, mounting method, material and impact requirements before production.
Near and intermediate design reviewed with the complete RX, ADD, fitting height, working distances and frame dimensions.
Complete RX, Material, Thickness and Frame Review
SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD and prism/base where prescribed are reviewed with material, diameter, decentration, base curve, center/edge thickness and frame trace.
Higher index may support thickness reduction, but the final result also depends on lens design, frame shape and size, blank availability, mounting method, Abbe value and specific gravity.
Precision RX Surfacing and Polishing
Approved high-power constructions are surfaced and polished to the selected prescription, design, material, diameter and thickness plan.
Aspheric, atoric or freeform options can manage selected optical and construction trade-offs; they do not eliminate every off-axis blur or guarantee immediate adaptation.
Finished Lens Power and Geometry Verification
Finished lenses are checked for the agreed power, prism, geometry, appearance, layout references and treatment requirements.
ISO 14889 states fundamental requirements for uncut finished spectacle lenses; applicable optical and geometrical checks are addressed by ISO 8980-1, while ISO 8980-3 addresses transmittance specifications and test methods.

- Material / Construction Review
- OptoCalc Thickness Features
- Ordering Workflow
| Review item | Order data | Production impact |
|---|---|---|
| Complete prescription | SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD and prism/base where prescribed | Defines the required powers and design constraints |
| Material | Material family, refractive index, Abbe value, specific gravity and impact requirement | Balances thickness potential, chromatic dispersion, weight, processing and use requirements |
| Lens construction | Blank diameter, base curve, center/edge thickness, decentration and design | Determines whether the requested construction is manufacturable |
| Frame and fitting | Frame trace, eye size, bridge, monocular PD, fitting height, wrap and mounting type | Affects finished thickness, usable diameter, centration and glazing |
| Treatments and verification | Hard coat, AR, blue filtering, photochromic/tint requirements and inspection criteria | Confirms compatibility and the finished-lens acceptance plan |
OptoCalc verified calculation reference: high-power orders can be reviewed with FRAMEblending, Lenticular Blending and Smart Fit Support when the design, frame trace, prescription and production program are compatible.
Adds the frame shape to the calculation. The catalogue reports conditional plus-lens center-thickness reduction up to 15% and controlled minus-lens edge blending.
Defines a centered or decentered optical zone and applies an adjustable blend outside it to manage edge thickness and weight.
Uses frame BOX or trace data to calculate a suitable blank shape, diameter and decentration. The catalogue illustrates conditional thickness reduction up to 30% for the Smart Fit configuration.
These percentages are catalogue examples, not fixed results. Finished thickness depends on RX, material, design, diameter, frame geometry, safety minimums and selected blending strength.
Higher index can support thickness reduction
For a given prescription and design, a higher refractive index can reduce the curvature needed for power and may support a thinner construction. It does not by itself guarantee the thinnest or lightest finished lens.
Index is one part of material selection
High-index spectacle materials commonly involve trade-offs such as lower Abbe values and greater chromatic dispersion. Specific gravity, impact properties, coating compatibility, frame shape and blank availability also matter.
High power is not one fixed design
The complete RX, lens diameter, decentration, center and edge thickness, base curve, frame and fitting data must be reviewed together. Aspheric or freeform designs can manage selected optical and construction trade-offs but cannot remove every off-axis blur or guarantee instant adaptation.
- Submit the complete RX: include SPH, CYL, AXIS, ADD and prism/base where prescribed.
- Provide the frame and fitting data: include frame trace, monocular PD, fitting height and mounting method; add wrap and position-of-wear values when the program supports them.
- Review construction options: compare compatible materials/indexes, blank diameter, base curve and center/edge thickness targets.
- Confirm the design: single vision, office, sports or another supported aspheric/freeform program.
- Specify treatments: confirm compatible hard coat, AR, blue-filtering, photochromic or tint requirements.
- Approve feasibility and timing: lead time is confirmed only after design, material, coating, finishing and quantity review.
- Verify the finished lenses: check ordered power, prism, geometry, markings, appearance and treatment criteria.
It is a custom prescription lens for stronger or complex RX requirements. It is not one fixed material or design, and feasibility depends on the full prescription, lens construction, frame and fitting requirements.
Choose after reviewing the complete RX, diameter, decentration, thickness, base curve, frame, Abbe value, specific gravity, coating and impact requirements. A single power value does not determine the best index.
No. Higher index can support reduced thickness in a given design, but frame size and shape, blank diameter, decentration, base curve, minimum thickness and material density also affect the finished result.
Material choice can influence chromatic dispersion. High-index materials commonly have lower Abbe values, so off-axis color fringing is one trade-off to review together with thickness, weight and design.
Yes, where the selected program and construction support them. These designs can manage selected optical and thickness trade-offs but cannot eliminate every peripheral blur or guarantee instant adaptation.
Compatible blue-filtering and generic photochromic options may be available. Branded Transitions program availability, material, activated color, coating and destination market must be confirmed before order.
Provide the complete RX, frame trace, base curve, wrap, fitting data and mounting method. Material and impact requirements must be confirmed separately from scratch-resistant surface coating.
Provide the full RX, ADD, monocular PD, fitting height, working distances, frame trace and the intended near/intermediate tasks. Minimum fitting and corridor conditions depend on the selected design.
Lead time is confirmed after the RX, design, material, diameter, coating, finishing method, quantity and verification requirements are reviewed. Custom or uncommon constructions may require additional time.
Custom High Power Prescription Lenses
Heritage Optical Lab supplies custom RX programs for stronger and complex prescriptions after technical review. Available combinations can include single vision, office, sports, blue-filtering and photochromic options, subject to design, material and treatment compatibility.
Material and thickness review
Material selection is based on the complete prescription, blank diameter, decentration, base curve, center and edge thickness, frame shape, mounting method, Abbe value, specific gravity, coating and impact requirements. Higher index can support reduced thickness in a given design, but does not guarantee the thinnest or lightest result.
Optical design choices
Aspheric, atoric and freeform options may help manage selected power, thickness and off-axis performance trade-offs. No design eliminates every peripheral blur or distortion, and adaptation varies with the wearer, prescription, previous lenses and fitting accuracy.
External layout markings
Blue removable external markings identify alignment, optical or fitting references during laboratory inspection and dispensing. They are distinct from permanent engravings and are removed after verification.
Coating and functional options
Hard coat, anti-reflective, blue-filtering, photochromic and tint options are reviewed separately for material compatibility, color, transmission, durability and processing. Polycarbonate impact properties should not be confused with surface scratch resistance.
Verification and wholesale ordering
Finished lenses are checked against the agreed optical, geometrical, appearance and treatment criteria. For quotation, send the full RX range, design, material/index, diameter, frame and fitting data, thickness targets, treatments, finishing method, quantity, packaging and destination market.
