Highly compact molded eyeglasses include a first lens portion and a second lens portion coupled via a bridge member. Each lens portion may be characterized by a reference surface and an adjustment surface. From one pair of eyeglasses to another, the reference surface exhibits a constant curvature. The curvature of an adjustment surface is designed relative to that of a reference surface to provide a lens portion having a particular dioptic power. The transition section may include a corrugation and/or a lip to secure the glasses to a wearer's nose. The bridge member acts as a flat spring coupling the lens portions. The bridge member includes an indentation segment joined by bends or curves to a first and a second arm segment. The bridge member's structure provides positional memory properties. The bridge member and the lens portions may be made from polycarbonate in an injection molding process.
