Do your eyes bug you even though your prescription is "correct"?

Among non-glass options, CR-39 is a good choice for computer glasses with prescriptions weaker than -5:

  - high (58) Abbe number
  - thick (1.5 index)
  - cheapest

Thickness and weight can be mitigated with a smaller frame, e.g. vintage options.

Actually buying CR-39 lens might require solving a dark pattern maze of online or offline options, since the cost is so low.

My indoor (non Transitions™) multifocus² glasses are CR-39¹.

I'd used the same material for my outdoor/sports/driving frames but it's higher density caused them to slide down my nose during activity so the next pair I opted for Trivex.

¹–CR-39 requires full frame spectacles, as drilling holes is verboten.

²–Shamir Autograph III, awesome & highly recommended.
