I would think that glass used for making lenses is much more homogenous
than glass made for colored glass dishes. If he were to find significant
differences I would be worried about more about the lens quality than
radiation.

  But......   my
limited experience in examination of radiation altered glassware
suggests inhomogeneities are always present when the damage is from
ionizing radiation (i.e. not chemical induced color change).   Dapoz,
can you acquire a magnified view of the central region of this lens
image to look for 'bubbles' or other tiny focal defects characteristic
of radiation damage???

Carry on...
