    Plano +8.00 BC Gradient Grey Tint (17%-25 % ) large Diameter

    I have a client that absoluitely wants to keep her old Armani sunglasses #1536 col #007 lens and just wants to replace the lens. I made her one pair of lens from a supplier (per-tinted stock ) but she says they are too dark. She uses the glasses as cosmetic ones and wears them all the time.

    So can someone direct me to a location where I might be able to... #1 buy a set of these lens in stock form...#2 a lab that could make me a pair (my lab says they can't)....#3 have an old Armani sunglass model 1536 with 007 grey lens that I can buy.

    All help will be very much appreciated.

    Have you checked with McCray....they have a broad range of finished lenses, Plano. You could try bleaching the lenses slightly, as hers probably are about 10% lighter than when she got them!

    Have you measured the light transmission, in her old pair?

    That's where I got the fisrt pair. Bleaching out poly lens is something I have never done. Would I use normal neutralizer and heat.

    Do not use BPI Neutralizer II, it will ruin poly. Most companies now have a more gentle neutralizer that will work on poly well.
