The cold bottle glasses. You get those because they're cheaper these days. You can get the same prescription on a much thinner lens. I did that for my kid. He has a pretty strong prescription in one eye, but his lens is no thicker than mine.

It adds a lot to the cost of the glasses, though. Easily $75 to just get half of the thickness.

someone else reminded me it's called index, and you can get like 1.74 index glasses that are wafer thin.

Where? Even thick ones are super expensive here. Over $250 a lens. I'd gladly pay $75 more for a significantly thinner lens. Point me in the right direction please.
