Cutting Lenses - What Works

still kinda blurry. Pic with no lenses?
The picture IS OFF the lenses being used. If you want an actual pic of lenses afterward used for this, that is different. I am not trying to fabricate, or change what they are. It is what it is, and pics were taken of No lens, Oakley Lens, Cheaper Suncloud Lens, and LineGear Lens. All used identical in the process. I am not arguing, I am just showing you the results.

LINEGEAR Statement taken directly off thier website:
Because it is the 2mm-thick 8-curve lens, it is possible that the vision might be
slightly distorted toward the edge of the frame.
Although the lenses are processed to produce as little distortion as possible, with the individual difference in sensitiveness, some people might experience certain discomfort.
Please contact our shop in such cases for proper support."


THIS Distortion is caused by the Lenses not being a "Base in Prism" lens. Which Linegear gets around by saying"
100% cut
partly with prism-adjustment function".


Base in Prism lenses , the temple and the nose part of the lens are thicker than the center so when your eye moves the image stays centered in your vision. Oh and by the way, Most X-Metal Oakely lenses are not 8.0 based lenses. We see in the chart 8.75, so ok close and thats what they probably meant, without being specific, All the Oakley X-Metal lenses I have personally tested using a Lens Clock, tested between a 8.93 and 8.98. So really right at a 9 base almost. This is used in quality Lenses such as Oakley lenses. Walleva, VL, and LineGear lenses are NOT Base in Prism lenses and thus the distortion is caused. The images shown is what your eye sees magnified. That is why people get headaches and eye strain from wearing cheap lenses. ALSO the coatings on the LineGear lenses specifically are causing part of the distortion. It appears the coatings are using particles to produce the colors that are too large, and thus affecting vision.





This is as far as I am going at this point in time. A complete Thread will be written using Optical definitions, explaining what they mean, and how it affects the wearer. In this process lenses, both Polarized and Non Polarized, will be used by compainies such as Oakley, Costa Del Mar, Ray Ban, LineGear, VL, Walleva, etc. Similar mirror lenses and non mirror will be used in the Stellar Projector to produce images and pictures from these Images.
This is being done to educate Members of what Optics really mean, and how it affects us. In that process of learning, we will know what products that are available to us, work and don't work.
 
i mean a pic of just the projection image for comparison.
Sorry, here it is. Will be doing more with a real camera, not a iPhone. Results will just be more spectacular, but as you can see all conditions are similar. I had to cut a light on in the room for the Linegear, and the Oakely lens. Too dark for pic. Iphone kept wanting to put on the flash.
