Cutting Lenses - What Works

[copilot]

does anyone know if a radarlock has the same curvature as a romeo 2 and therefore work as a donor?

thank you in advance.

I think they're both 8.75.

radar lock isnt 8.75... it uses toric lens curvature.. same as it was for shield lenses since the Mframe and the older radar.... its flatter.

really? are you sure?

i know chop used one to cut for a romeo so i just figured

I'm starting to think I'm going to have Ice Iridium Polarized cut from another lens for my Juliets since I can't seem to find an OEM pair out in the wild.

Much thanks for that, but paying almost double the initial US retail price isn't in the cards for me.

very certain.

you can cut any lens to fit any frame granted the size is adequate, its just that with the incorrect curvature you wont get the right optics. - ie the mild spatial distortion you get with cheaper sunglasses. theres a reason oakley frames are designed with a specific lens curvature - XYZ optics means no distortion.

I'd like to see you put a holbrook lens in a penny lol

holbrook lenses have been cut for juliets by the doc, and they fit... im sure they'll fit the penny as well. ive even cut m-frame lenses and fit them in a penny back when i was practicing my cutting and thats even flatter (looks weird).
