ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are optically corrected lenses for nonprescription dual lens eyeglasses. Left and right lenses are each vertically and horizontally tapered, and are each characterized by optical centerlines. The lenses are mounted in dual lens eyewear frames with rake and wrap, with the optical centerlines each vertically displaced from the normal line of sight in an as-worn orientation. The vertical displacement corresponds to the degree of rake in a manner resulting in optical correction of the lenses. Lenses are thus provided which have improved optics when mounted in the raked and wrapped as-worn orientation.
