custom-fit / custom-shaped Explanation: custom-fit [custom-shaped] spectacle glasses Please note that this is no more than an educated guess based on the German sources cited below, in which "formgerandet" appears. The term seems to indicate that the edges of the glasses are subjected to milling or some similar process in order to provide for their perfect fit to the frame. see also http://www.ipro.de:9880/web/unternehmen/news/presseinfos/dez... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2004-04-19 15:33:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"Form\" seems to refer to the shape of the frame.
