I wore my polished/ti clear Juliets today and the ghosting was really bad. I have a second pair of Ti Clear lenses that I'm thinking of putting in - does anyone know if the amount of 'ghosting' varies from lens to lens? I don't want to go through all the effort if they new ones are going to have the exact same effect.

It's quite a shame actually, I'm going to swap the lenses and see if I have better luck.

The ghosting is very minimal to non-existent with my Ti clear Mag Switch. Possibly due to the rake or curvature of the lens?

Certainly yeah, the flatter it is, the less ghosting you should see.

Really, I thought it was the other way around. Flat lenses like the Why series should see the most, while those like MD's and Mag Switch should see the least. But it probably has something to do with how much light "gets in" between your face and the frame. Because (correct me if I'm wrong), ghosting is caused by light reflecting off the inside of the lens. Thus, those frames that "hug" the face more closely like MD, etc. would let less light in than those in the Why series, and thus reduce ghosting. Anyone else have any ideas?

The deeply curved lenses act like a concave magnifying glass, so it shows a bigger picture of your face back at you.

My experience is that the flatter the base curve, the more ghosting there is since more light can bounce back. I've personally never had it such that I got ghosting from a clear lens with double iridium if that's an 8 base curve.

Eric,
are you talking about your cleared whiskey dogs? Because if you are, it could be because the clear frame allows more light to come in and reflect off the back of the lens, whereas an opaque frame would not.

Yes of course it more pronounced but when I got the original combo (Japanese Limited) it did the same thing.
