IMO, 3D printing is not suitable for printing such lenses. They end up translucent at the very best (or at least I've never been able to make anything that anyone would describe as "clear").
I think you'd have a lot more success at a passable part if you 3D printed a mold and vacuum form clear acrylic over the mold, then trim to fit. You can make a lot more parts per hour that way as well. However you make them if they are good and clear I'm sure you would sell a lot of them!
How much does one go for on the used or open market?
