ThinEdge by NextPair: Thinner Lens Edges for High Prescriptions

Finding the right pair of glasses when you have a high prescription isn’t always easy. One of the biggest challenges for high-prescription wearers is the thickness of the lenses — especially around the edges. Thick lenses can look bulky, unbalanced, and take away from the sleek style of your eyewear, especially for Asian fit glasses which often feature a lighter, minimalist design.

This is why NextPair has created ThinEdge, a lens-edge slimming technology exclusive to NextPair. If you have a strong prescription and want your lenses to look thinner without compromising vision, this is for you.

Why Are High Prescription Lenses So Thick?

High prescriptions require more lens power. And in traditional lenses, that often means thicker edges for nearsighted prescriptions (minus lenses), or thicker centers for farsighted prescriptions (plus lenses).

In particular:

• Minus lenses (for myopia) = thicker at the edges

• Plus lenses (for hyperopia) = thicker in the center

If you have a strong nearsighted prescription (-4.00 and above), you’ve probably noticed:

👓 “Why do my lenses stick out so much from my frames?”

That’s the reality of standard lenses. But not with ThinEdge.

What is ThinEdge by NextPair?

ThinEdge is a special lens-edging technique developed exclusively by NextPair. It carefully crafts the outer edge of your high prescription lenses to be slimmer — without affecting your vision clarity or lens strength.

💡 Think of it as giving your lenses a stylish, lightweight contour.

Where regular edging is designed for speed and mass production, ThinEdge is hand crafted with precision. It's about designing each lens edge with care so that it fits your frames better and looks thinner from every angle.

Benefits of ThinEdge Lenses

Here’s why ThinEdge makes a difference, especially for high prescription and Asian fit eyewear:

1. Slimmer Look from the Side 👀

The most noticeable part of thick lenses is always the side profile. ThinEdge lenses taper that bulky edge down to a more subtle, refined look.

2. Lighter Feel on Your Face

Less lens material at the edges means your glasses feel lighter, especially in Asian fit styles where comfort is essential.

3. Better Frame Compatibility

ThinEdge makes it possible to wear a wider variety of frames — even metal or wireframes — without the fear of “thick lens overhang.”

4. Specifically Designed for Asian Fit Frames

Asian fit frames are often more lightweight and have a shallower lens groove. ThinEdge helps lenses fit seamlessly without creating bulk.

5. Exclusive to NextPair Only

No other online retailer offers ThinEdge. It’s part of NextPair’s mission to make eyewear for strong prescriptions look as stylish as low-prescription glasses.

How Does ThinEdge Work?

ThinEdge uses advanced edging machines combined with hand-finishing techniques. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

1. Your lens is cut precisely to match your selected Asian fit frame.

2. The edges are beveled and tapered down with custom settings.

3. Special polishing techniques are applied to create a clear, clean lens edge.

4. The result is a thinner, sleeker edge — only where it matters — without touching your optical zone (the part you see through).

Does ThinEdge Affect Vision?

No. ThinEdge only affects the cosmetic edge of your lens — never the part you look through. Your prescription accuracy stays perfect.

Your lens remains:

• Strong

• Safe

• Optically clear

This is a cosmetic upgrade, not a prescription change.

Which Prescriptions Benefit Most from ThinEdge?

ThinEdge is most valuable for:

• Myopia (nearsightedness) prescriptions of -4.00 and higher

• Strong astigmatism

• Thicker minus lenses in lightweight or rimless frames

• Anyone wanting a slimmer lens look

Even if you have a lower prescription, ThinEdge can add a sleeker aesthetic to your glasses.

Frames Best Paired with ThinEdge

Some frame shapes show off ThinEdge best, especially Asian fit styles:

• Thin metal frames

• Round or smaller shapes

• Transparent or light-colored frames

• Rimless or half-rim styles

• Lightweight acetate frames

Does ThinEdge Cost Extra?

Choose the add-on for a mere $5.00 — affordable and worth it for the cosmetic improvement. At NextPair, we believe high prescription wearers deserve stylish options too.

Look out for the ThinEdge add-on option when selecting your lenses.

Why NextPair Created ThinEdge

Many eyewear retailers focus on one-size-fits-all. But for NextPair, we know that Asian fit customers and high prescription wearers have unique needs.

Thick lenses shouldn't limit your frame choices or your style.

ThinEdge is part of NextPair's larger mission:
"Eyewear for Asians, regarding where you live."
