Chef's Kiss for the outcome of these high minus, aspheric, 1.67 lenses with edge polish

Patient's Rx:

OD, -6.75 x - 1.0 x 120

OS, - 6.50 x -0.25 x 90

The whole outcome of these babies makes me wanna cry with joy!

I know a lot of us have seen glasses with much more complex Rx's, but still this pair of glasses just makes me so happy with its aesthetic outcome. Only other thing I recommended was a better A/R coating, but she opted for the basic one we sell. Still. I can't wait to dispense these 🤓

Would this work best with "Slab-Off" Lenses?

OK so I met somebody who has an upcoming eye exam and I read her glasses on the manual lensometer prior to her appointment.

OD: -1.0 x -5.0 x 12

OS: -4.75 x -4.75 x 165

...That's a pretty spicy Rx, and the whole reason I follow this Subreddit is to see what my fellow opticians do for unusual Rx's.

Also, yeah, I know this is incomplete info about her, and not even all-that current (it's based on a 4-year old Rx), but I was curious if this is the type of Rx that would warrant "slab-off" style lenses due to the extreme astigmatism in both eyes and somewhat high myopia in only her left eye (AKA anisometropia). It's going to be pretty interesting when I eventually help them select glasses, and I'm really going to ask the optometrist they work with what SHE recommends for these glasses, obvi.
