chipped ethos (OMG)

hello barry i am an optical mechanic / technician of twenty five years in the opthalmic industry and i can picture the type of fracture that has occured
how far into the lens has the chip encroached?
if it is less than half to three quarters of a millimeter this could possibly be "edged out" on a smooth diamond stone and then some very fine wet and dry sand paper to clear the edge of "stars" caused by the stone
is the lens positive or negative?
pat
