  High index lenses glasses are made for people with strong prescription. To eyeglasses lenses with the same prescription, the higher the index lenses, the thinner and the lighter the prescription lenses. I think this maybe the best advantages compared common lenses. So, even if you have strong prescription, you still expected to get lighter and thinner eyeglasses lenses with high index lenses.

As for the material or added advantages, it is widely recommended that an anti-reflective lens coating should apply to high-index lenses because some experts said that eyeglass lenses with anti-reflective coatings provide sharper night vision, especially good for night drivers.
