    mirrored tint application

    Hi everyone! A while ago I bought a pair of silhouette rimless. They’re just great! With them I ordered the plastic gray clip-ons which attach to the bridge. These are nice as well but I would like to have a mirrored tint applied to them. Is this possible?

    Anything is possible these days. You have to find the right optician. that knows what and were to do to it.
    If you have a problem get back to me.

    Thanks Chris, I appreciate that! Does anyone else have any ideas, aside from getting custom clip-ons?

    See AWtech, I am sure he can apply the mirror tint.

    Are you talking about. . .

    the stock Silhouette clip that fits on the bridge?? If so you can't take them apart. I don't think Silhouette is going to mirror them for you and I'm not sure you wouldn't have problems with the mirror on those wafer thin lenses.

    Your best bet is to go with a custom clip.

    The name's not familiar. . .

    I worked with a Tom Cahill in California, but he's been dead 15 - 20 years.
