Cutting Lenses - What Works

[kennethekotto]

If split jacket lenses can be cut for the R1, does it also mean that it can act as a donor for the XX?

Um. I don't think so, but if I remember I'll check in the morning

I'll be damned. The Juliet lens has the same curvature as the original R1 lens. I just laid them on top of each other and it's absolutely the same.

I also put them on the Eyepatch 2 lens and it is definitely not the same curvature. Something is definitely not right with the information that's out there.

So look at this. Things are not adding up

8.75 base curve. Straight from

I believe when linegear says 8.0 base curve, they just mean its between 8.0 and 8.99

all the xmetal lenses have an 8.75 base curve. you ould stack them and they'll all be flush against each other. thats true 8.75.

the eyepatch/dispatch etc is NOT 8.75. most of those large lifestyle frames are base 6- still curved,but not as much. the frogskins are lesser still (4?) and the mframes and shield type lenses are Toric curved (like around a cylinder)

i have rewritten the excel sheet on my pc to correct all the issues... the one on here is just too diluted with incorrect info. what will fit is not the same as what is correct. you can fit toric lenses into a frame designed for 8.75 curve... you just wont have xyz optics (vision is distorted) and kinda defeats the purpose of oakley lenses.

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.

Found a pair being offered at original retail Buy It Now. Snagged those up so fast.....

The eyepatch 2 is 8.75 according to Oakley. Says on the website.

And send me the revised table.

Quick question - would an optician be able to measure the base curve of a lens?
