Oakley Strike lens (Clear) Recut to Sweep?

syn-ack

I have read some of the instructional/informational guides on what can be cut, the reasons some cuts are or are not possible, etc.. but I have not been able to ascertain if a Strike lens could be trimmed to a profile like that of the Sweep. It doesn't necessarily need to have the curvature changed, I just need the higher cut on the bottom of the lens, and the narrowing of the edges, so they dont ride on top of my cheek bones.

Is this possible, and who/how can make that happen?

Please forgive my ignorance, I have worn and loved Oakleys for 30 years, had the original Razor Blades.. Now wear M Frames (not the newer gen) and Radar Paths. Just looking to get some clear shooting lenses, and the Strikes meet the Z87 specs I need, but not the shape. Ironically, I did find grey sweeps with the better nose piece retainer I want from a clear lens.

Thank you in advance for any help!
 
For a clear lens, I would opt for a Revant one - you may want to check their impact rating but looks to me to match Oakley.

 
Thanks for the replies folks, I actually do indeed have a Revant clear sweep, but they use the non retainer style nose piece, that is the main reason I was wanting to recut the Strike lens, as it has a different nose piece from standard lenses, it locks into place. (see below image I came across that shows the difference. The top lens is SI/Ballistic, the bottom is not.)

Bottom lens is fake homie
 
It may be, but it shows the difference between the standard nose piece and the ballistic nose piece, yeah? (That's all I was trying to show)

I believe I have seen threads where someone named @Rustpot has replied showing the difference, likely with authentic lenses.
