Abstract: An improved process for finishing the edge of corrective lenses made of thermoplastic material or of a mixture of thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials. This process includes the steps of dry pre-profiling and dry post-profiling the corrective lens and the further subsequent additional process step of wet final finishing and/or calibrating the corrective lens by using an additional fine grinding wheel and applying cooling liquid to the contact area between said corrective lens and said fine grinding wheel.
