Whats everyones going rate for lenses? Having some done at my local optometry spot and it was $200 for single vision 1.74 hi index with anti reflection. Prescription is -2.75.
That's not a bad price but you don't need 1.74 - 1.6 would be plenty at -2.75. If you have a plastic frame standard 1.5 would be fine too.
There's obviously a cosmetic balance but you want the lowest refractive index that is cosmetically good because the optical properties are better. They're cheaper too.
