That list has many errors.

I cut some Field Jacket Photochromic lenses a while back for a Monster Dog and while they’re big enough the base curve difference is noticeable. At least for me it was. They’re also a pain in the ass to make them fit right. I sent them to @"TRUMP" to use or toss lol.

If you're messing with lenses and need to know base curve, a lens clock is an essential tool. $40 on Amazon.

Then why is the list still up and not corrected?
I would rather have no info than bad.

Anyone can go through and check it all and let cacat know. I just don’t have the time to.

I don't have to measure now. But it was more like 7.25 toric/ellipsoid... Like a double edge lens.

They're definitely a Toric lens. I believe someone mentioned them as a 8.0?

edit: I have them in my notebook as the following;

*Field Jacket ~ Width: 64mm | Height: 47mm | Base Curve Toric 8 Ellipsoid

I have them asterixed since I haven't cut one myself, nor have a found anyone who has an stated the BC of them. But @Norcal91707 is correct on conflicting info out online I've seen them mentioned at 8/8.75. On the forum I've seen a numerical value but it's been said to be toric.

 

["TRUMP"]

Usually I can fit a custom cut toric lens into a MD but the one J sent me I literally couldnt even get mounted in the orbital because the curve was so far off, based on that I always thought it was flat like a frogskin or holbrook lens...

Just cut my first two sets of Dillon lenses for a Pitboss. Well not for me. For someone else.

They’re sure different than oakley lenses but the bevel wasn’t too bad.
