I just picked up two pairs of XS Fives for REALLY cheap ($10 each). They're kinda beat up and the lenses have some scuffs. I want to replace/cut new lenses as i don't want to screw up my son's vision and want to get him started off right with collecting and taking care of his glasses.

I know the base curve is 8.75. Just wondering how one determines which "donor lens" to use? And if you can list what lenses I can use, that'd be great too!

First pair is the Black/Blue Iridium
Second pair is the Berry/Grey

It's not required that i use the same colored lenses. If anything i'd like to use a Emerald or Jade in the Black frame and a Fire or +Red in the Berry frame.

I don't have first hand experience, but since they're so small, I would imagine you'd have a wide array of choices. Knowing the base curve puts you in a good position. I think the only thing you'd want to ensure, is that there's enough room when holding the lens in the proper position. You can always make a lens fit within the dimensions of another, but you also want to make sure the XYZ remains in effect.
