Could you build this?

Partial Rendering 3D shapes in Three.js is vibe-codeable, but accurately modeling 3D ophthalmic lens edge profiles across complex prescription parameters requires specialized optical geometry formulas.

What it would actually take: The core engine requires precise optical ray/surface geometry math implementing Sagitta formulas, toric transposition, pantoscopic tilt, and aspheric curve geometries for custom frame boxer dimensions. The frontend can use WebGL/Three.js, but implementing the exact parametric surface math requires an optical engineer or specialized ophthalmic domain expertise.
