Cutting an Extremely Complex Lens Shape on the MEI Edger

These are some of the most complex lenses we’ve worked on in our lab. Frames like this push the limits of what’s possible in lens edging. With aggressive shapes and tight tolerances, even a fraction of a millimeter can determine whether a lens fits perfectly—or won’t install at all. In this video, we walk through: Why certain lens shapes are so difficult to cut How size and bevel placement affect fit and retention The role of precision edging equipment like the MEI What can go wrong when lenses aren’t made correctly This is the kind of work that requires careful adjustments and experience to get right. It’s also why some labs avoid jobs like this altogether. At UseMyFrame.com, all lenses are made in-house, allowing full control over the process from start to finish—especially on challenging jobs like this. If you have a difficult frame or a high prescription, there are solutions—when it’s done correctly. 🔗 Learn more or order lenses: https://usemyframe.com 📍 Visit us: UseMyFrame.com 104 E 3rd Street Rock Falls, IL 61071 📞 Call/Text: (815) 515-4947
