We have a job for the typical young woman -6.00 myope who lives in her contacts and just needed something el cheapo for that other one hour of the day. So we ordered naked poly and it went into a slightly larger than optimal, simple injected-molded (or something very cheap-feeling and light) black plastic frame from our Asian friends at Essilux.
Super light, super cheap, super effective.
The only thing that doesn't look optimal is the ring effect. I don't understand how to make a mirror, but it must involve polycarbonate on a black background! I did check the edge polish, and it's only a satin, and I looked for a Mongo-special on the safety bevel, but its light and appropriate. It's just the optical quality of a thicker edge in a black plastic bevel.
Question: since polycarb can't be tinted, and whereas in a case like this no AR was ordered, for the sake of argument is there a way to minimize this effect with, say, a "LenZ PenZ" (copyright...Hilco Vi$ion) or simply a black sharpie (classy optician work, right)?
Or, is there a novel way to treat the bevel, itself? Like with white-out? (The acetone would melt this sucker like cotton candy in a fat kids mouth, I know.) Or something else?
