SNIP
If this stuff can be worked into lenses, I'd be thrilled to have a set
made out of it, since it might *FINALLY* mean I'd get to look through
scratch-free lenses for more than the first few weeks after getting a
new pair...


Don, it all depends on the light refraction index of the stuff. One
might find that the thickness of the new material to get the
prescription you (read that: we) need, the thickness/weight might be
well in excess of regular glasses'lenses.
This might mean even more weight on our noses, so I guess (my) plastic
lenses will have to do until they are prooven better.
Keep ur fingers crossed!!!
