Always worth trying a direct or literal rendering. Seemingly technical terms are often simply a word-for-word translation of an English term.

If your prescription is outside the boundaries of -4.50 to +3.00 you may want to select your glasses from our Six Base Sunglasses page. Six base frames are just a bit flatter than 8 base frames. This will make the lens thinner, lighter, and easier to get used to.
