Your optician can give you the best answer on that. I do not even know what a polycarbonate lens is. I expect him to know that. I do know, however, that more powerful prescriptions that normally produce thicker lens can be made from materials that will give you a thinner lens. Costs more, so depends on your choices.
I don’t know what type of lens my sons have but their prescriptions are above 5.0. We get the thinest lens we can to avoid the coke bottle glass effect.
