I believe these blanks currently are only available on an 8 base curve. So 2 problems.
1) I believe tailend is only a 6 base curve. So these probably won't work.
2) in not sure how or who can matte out the edges. But w making tape and a soothing pad I think you could DIY a frosted / matted edge yourself.

The red lenses are mirrored on the backside. Which is very unique. But makes the matting process easier.
Tail Ends are 8+ base curve....I've cut some of them lol.

Hmm. Then it'll be up to thickness for me to cut and drill a pair.

Do you think the mirror on the inside would be a problem since the light wouldn't be blocked out on the sides?

I have a blasting box with very soft media, so I could matte with the right masking

If I were wearing a wrap style pair of sunglasses, there wouldn't be light bleeding in the sides, and I wouldn't see my eyes reflected back at me. Since the Tailend is open, I assume that could affect my view, right?

Ya. Any of these red mirror are for display only. The have a mirror on the beach that is distracting to vision! There is certainly no way Of recommend wearing them daily. Minimum is eye fatigue or "annoying reflection". At worst dangerous. I hope that helps.

Definitely appreciate the honesty. I've wanted a red lense for the Tailend for a while, and the cyclops lenses look absolutely amazing, but I'd want something to wear
