| Yes, the plano lens will help in the weight aspect, but I made a
mistake in the magnification/minification comment. While it is true
that if you had one eye of -2 and one eye of -4, the -2 lens should be
made thicker than it has to be to acheive the same minification effect
as the -4 lens. I am pretty sure that optical people make both
lenses as thin as possible without regard to the other lens. That is
a big boo boo on the optical department.
However, a plano lens has 0 correction. It doesn't matter whether
it's a millimeter thick or an inch thick, a lens that isn't curved
isn't going ot magnify nor minify any image.
In the case of one plano eye, I would suggest using contact lenses
instead of wearing glasses. I can't think of a way to escape the
imbalance of image sizes when one eye is plano.
I think once you turn off the ventilation system, your eyes won't be
so dry anymore.
