Why no lens height measurement on lens thickness calculators?
I thought the height of a lens was a significant factor is how thick the lens appears on the edge. The further you go from the center the thicker the lens becomes. I found some stunning sunglass frames with gradient lenses for a song, but they are large lenses with a horizontal measurement of about 54-56 mm and about 48 mm high. This is why I consulted a lens thickness calculator, but no height measurement is asked for. With a 1.56 index lens and an Rx of -3.75 wouldn't those lenses be awfully thick for that size frame?
The red ones are stunning and with the gradient lenses are under $20. They look 10X the price!

If I am not Mistaken you can get higher index lenses 1.6 to 1.67 although the 1.67 might
be a bit too much for your script ,Also be careful of how much curve there is on the lenses
6to 8 base lenses keeps peripheral clearer
