How To Cut Lenses to Fit Your Frames

Subscribe - goo.gl/iAwSQc

NOTE: This method is neither intended nor recommended for prescription or corrective lenses! This was easier than expected and since I had lenses on hand that were large enough, it went a lot faster than bringing them in and having an optician order new lenses and perform a custom cut for these frames. I liked these Prada VPR 23R frames from when I wore prescription eyeglasses so after getting Lasik surgery, I decided to use them as sunglasses. As a recovery diver, I have a lot of sunglasses that I've pulled off the bottom to use as lens donors but I wouldn't hesitate to buy an inexpensive pair of sunglasses to get the right donor lenses. Either way, just pick a pair with lenses large enough and then custom cut them as shown in the video. It was easy, fast and worked out well.
