Is it possible to dope acrylic to achieve a higher index of refraction?

Hello,

Does anyone know if there are compounds one can add to acrylic during
extrusion or casting to achieve a higher index of refraction (even at
the expense of some clarity?). How high can you go. Is it remotely
possible to reach levels or 1.8 or 1.9? Does anyone make such
products already?

Cheers,
