Put in lens unskilfully, still as made (7-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unslept-in

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'made' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'put in lens unskilfully still' is the wordplay.
'put in lens' can be anagrammed to 'UNSLEPT-IN'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
