lensless

Lacking glass pieces

Lensless describes optical devices or imaging systems that capture images without traditional glass lenses: lensless cameras, lensless microscopes.

These systems typically use computational methods or pinhole apertures instead.

The word also applies to eyewear frames sold without lenses, worn as fashion accessories: lensless glasses.
