yes



Yes, the higher your prescription is, the thicker your lenses will be. This goes for both myopic and hyperopic people.

If you are myopic, your lenses will be thicker at the edge of the lens. If you are hyperopic, your lenses will be thicker in the middle of the lens.

You can reduce the thickness of your lenses by getting a hi index plastic lens and choosing smaller frames for your glasses.

Generally it will be thicker, but you can get lenses that are thinner, which will cost more and frames with a smaller width if you are nearsighted (as the thickness is at the edge of the frames.
