glass lens
Transparent focusing disc
A glass lens is a piece of curved glass that bends light to focus or disperse it.
Found in eyeglasses, cameras, microscopes, and telescopes, glass lenses shaped convex or concave produce magnification, correction, or image capture.
The term distinguishes traditional optical glass from plastic or composite alternatives: The photographer prefers glass lenses for their clarity.
