    Rats...

    This makes my mirror coated RGP's look so 1999. How is an Optician supposed to look cool anymore?

    When I was working in a CL lab in Houston back in the '60's we actually had "genius ophthalmologist consultant" to NASA that wanted us to make some mirror coated rigid contact (RGP's didn't exist then) lenses.

    I know someone made them, Yul Bryner wore them in Westword (1973). It would be fun for someone to make a set (red mirror would be very cool).
