Even if the material is the same, the thick lens is stronger because strength increases when thickness increases. If you pull on the lens in its plane and it is twice as thick then it is twice as strong. If you push on the lens perpendicular to it and it is twice as thick then it is eight times stronger. This is strength of materials theory taken in college for engineering.

Do stronger tornadoes last longer than weaker ones?
Generally, yes.
Why does thin wires have high resistivity than thick ones?
Less surface area and cross section for the current to travel through.
Are smaller magnets stronger than larger magnets?
yes.in bigger magnets there are more magnetisom This is not true! In many cases larger magnets are stronger than smaller ones but not in all. I urge you to do research on reputable sites which can offer accurate answers to your questions. Magnet strength and effectiveness rely on size, age, gauss ratings as well as several other aspects. But do not take my word, please research further.
How is a mirage created?
A mirage is when rays of light attempt to travel through different densities of air on top of each other. It travels slower in the thicker densities and faster in the thinner ones, and also may change direction. This confusion in direction and speed causes images to appear in the human eye, when in fact they are not there. Mirages are NOT the same as hallucinations; they are caused by drugs etc.
Does sandstone have crystals?
sandstone has crystals, big ones not small ones
Why are some telescopes stronger than other ones?
Because some have thicker lenses.
Do people prefer thicker or thinner lip gloss?
I don't know about anyone else, but i prefer thinner gloss, because sometimes i find thicker gloss harder to apply since the thick ones are usually sticky. Thinner lip gloss is just overall, easier to apply.
Why do spectacles have thin lenses?
Spectacles will have as thin or thick lenses as needed to to give the wearer good vision. But sinsce heavy spectacles are more uncomfortable to wear than lighter ones, opticians generally tries to make the lenses as thin as possible.
Do curling wands come in different sizes?
yes normally they do. you can also get ones that start off thick and get thinner towards the end of the stick :)
Why is it important to use thicker cuttings instead of thinner ones?
Thicker cuttings are easier than thinner ones
What did Arctic men wear?
Generally, many thinner layers are better than a few thick ones. Modern fabrics allow this. But fur is good if you can't get the newer stuff.
What are progressive glasses?
Ones with varifocal lenses.
Is it possible to change clear lenses to transitional lenses?
No. It is possible to have them tinted though. If you are going to do this, bear in mind that anti-reflective coated lenses will not tint as well as uncoated ones.
How much are glasses without lenses?
Glasses without lenses? as in fake ones? why would you want them? U can just go to a 3d movie, get a pair of those and pop the lenses out.
What are my options for extended-wear contact lenses?
Contact lenses that you can leave on for a long time are called extended wear lenses. These are the ones that you can wear to sleep. Some gas permeable lenses can be worn up to a month at a time.
Why are columns of the top in the top of a building are thinner than the ones are the bottom?
Bottom ones have to bear more weight
Does a camera have 2 sets of lenses that are used to form and enlarge an image?
Some cameras will have two sets of lenses, such as ones with a telephoto lens. These use two lenses to focus on and enlarge images.
