If anybody *would* do customizing work like that, it would be Optical4Less.
They *might* be able to change the lens height, as that would only entail recalculating the "fishing line" (monofilament) for the new lens. But, as for changing the actual shape of the lens, that would entail a custom made frame which is going to be next to impossible. I would contact O4L and inquire as to the feasibility of what you want done. While you're at it, check out these frames. They have a lens height of 24mm, but they sound like what your talking about. http://globaleyeglasses.com/glasses/XDXF-9043.html Good Luck, -=# Firewalker #=- On Mar 13, 7:23 pm, Chuck Knight <[email protected]> wrote: > Some of the online retailers can do custom shaped rimless...you literally > send them a drawing, or a scan of the shape you want, and they make it. > > This is from memory, but I think O4L can do this. > > As for changing the shape of a half-rim pair...I doubt they would do this. > It would entail not only custom shaping the lens, but *also* recalculating > and replacing the "fishing line" that holds it in.
