Anyone have an opinion on fitting a polarized lens in a semi-rimless frame? I think it is probably not a good idea. Anyone else?

Works fine, just don't put too much tenshion on the string, (can split a lanimated lens.)
When putting any groove in a polarized lens you want to make sure the groove is placed on one side of the polarized film. If it touches the film at any point or is very close to the film depending on the material of the lens, the film and the construction of the lens, excess stress could be placed on the film. For the cost of having it edged outside by an experienced lab it is a fairly inexpensive way of making sure you don't have to buy a replacement pair of lenses.

In my time I have had a few complaints if the groove/bevel isnt right on the front wth polarised, as it looks like there are gaps.Originally Posted by AWTECH
Are others getting this?
I have found that requesting an edge coat (grey/black on grey plzd and brown for brown plzd) does the trick!Originally Posted by rsandr
What Efsamuel said.
Avoid those metal in the groove frames they will chip that polarized lens quick. Poly is preferrable or a Keanon lens would be ideal, thicker the better,so minus is easier than plus. My buddie Tim used the example of an oreo cookie, as long as you don't hit the cream your fine.
We put NuPolar into semi-rimless all the time. No special placement of the groove, since our edger places it far enough back anyway. But still no delams.
