The third predetermined optical properties may provide vision correction according to a prescription. The at least one adhesive optical decal lens and/or the base lens may be manufactured by embossing, and/or die cutting (stamping), yielding effective optical corrective and/or magnifying lenses quickly, easily, and cost effectively as compared against the labor intensive, time consuming, and expensive injection molding, grinding, and polishing processes presently used. Additionally, such adhesive optical decal lenses and methods may be used to extend the useful life of preexisting eyewear. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A lens apparatus for correcting vision or for magnifying, comprising a base lens, with first predetermined optical properties; at least one adhesive optical decal lens, each with its own predetermined optical properties; wherein the at least one adhesive optical decal lens is attached to the base lens forming the lens apparatus; wherein the lens apparatus has third predetermined optical properties. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the base lens is thicker than the at least one adhesive optical decal lens. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one adhesive optical decal lens is attached to the base lens at: a front face, a rear face, or the front face and the rear face. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one adhesive optical decal lens comprises at least a front adhesive optical decal lens and a rear adhesive optical decal lens; wherein the base lens is disposed between the front adhesive optical decal lens and the rear adhesive optical decal lens, with the front adhesive optical decal lens attached to a front of the base lens, and the rear adhesive optical decal lens attached to a rear of the base lens. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one adhesive optical decal lens is substantially constructed from one or more of: a thin film or polycarbonate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a shape of the at least one adhesive optical decal lens is made by one or more of: embossing or die cutting. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one adhesive optical decal lens is removable or permanent. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one adhesive optical decal lens is smaller than the base lens and located on a lower quadrant of the base lens, resulting in a bi-focal functionality for the apparatus. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the lens apparatus further comprise another adhesive optical decal lens, with its own predetermined optical properties; wherein the other adhesive optical decal lens is attached to the at least one adhesive optical decal lens. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The lens apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the other adhesive optical decal lens is smaller than the at least one adhesive optical decal lens and located on a lower quadrant of the at least one adhesive optical decal lens, resulting in a bi-focal functionality for the apparatus. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the lens apparatus is fitted to and attached to a lens opening in an eyeglass frame. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the third predetermined optical properties provides vision correction substantially in accordance with a prescription. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the base lens is one or more of: transparent, flexible, plastic, polycarbonate, a plano, a preexisting lens, or fluid filled. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein base lens is made by one or more of: embossing, die cutting, stamping, extrusion, or injection molding. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The lens apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first predetermined optical properties; the predetermined optical properties of the at least one adhesive optical decal lens; and the third predetermined optical properties all differ from each other. ### Claim 16 A lens apparatus with at least one adhesive optical decal lens as shown and described herein. ### Claim 17 A method for making lens apparatus as shown and described herein.
