    lenses are the results any goodf would someone be able to see that

    You cannot cut small lenses to make them larger, you can only cut large
    lenses to make them smaller. If you want a larger frame, new lenses will be
    needed.

    I was told that the smaller lenses would be joined into a larger lense
    is that possible will someone be able to see the join?

    I am not aware of a process that does this, suggest you ask the person doing
    it if the joint will show. You might ask to see a sample before ordering to
    make sure the appearance is acceptable to you..

    Frankly, since fusing a small lens into a large one would be a labour
    intensive single job instead of the semi automated method used for making a
    new lens, I also suspect it will be more expensive for you to have this done
    (if possible) than to get new lenses made.
