MRY Ultra Lenses - DWP lenses for $30

Remember earlier I mentioned MRY are not tape-corrected.
I think it might be that they are using flat PolyCarbonate & just bending it.

With the snow out, I figured this was the best time to get a shot of the distortion in the lens:

This 'defect' is actually caused by stress/compression caused by frame on the polarization film/layer. Here's an OEM Oakley lens with the same stress streaks.

Many of my PolyCarbonate lens glasses have small amounts of it, but the MRY lens is surrounded with it.

Look at your Seek lenses: None

also none with any Nylon lens, & of course not with Glass

That's because only Polycarbonate lenses use a separate polarization layer/ film. TAC and Nylon lenses have the polarization infused into the lens. As regarding glass lenses, the only polarized glass lens I have used till date is a RayBan - it too has the polarization layer infused and not as a separate layer.

That being said, any PC lens with a polarization layer will be subject to these streaking if it's force-inserted into a frame (which is what 99% of Oakley frames are). I've had similar results with OEM lenses, Revant and Relenz.

ed: Haven't used Seek, not sure if they use a Polycarbonate or Nylon lens. If it's the latter, then they won't have streaking.

Replacement MRY Plasma Purple Ultra arrived today.
Perfect fit and no "issues"

(But I am really looking forward to my Costa's arriving with that Copper/Green lense)

Sorry.....not relevant to the thread (sorry Alan) but I have to post these.
Costa del Mar "Cut"

I told my Maui Jim friend about how great that lens is & he rejected it, saying it was just TOO much of a color-shift, but
then he tried the Glass version in-store at SunGlass Hut & now he owns the CdM Castles the the 580G Green Mirror

When I first got mine (580P) in a Costa Fantail, I wanted to wear them to watch TV & everything, it was just so Vivid!

Just replace that Costa icon with an O and you'd mistake it for a Gibston!

Almost.....but not quite. A little more "square" where the arms join the frame.

If these fit me (might be a little small) I think I will prefer the shape to the Gibston.

Is it on the "colour shift" level of the Prizm Tungsten Polarised lenses??
