Method of making an eyeglass lens

A method of making an eyeglass lens with at least one structural element fastened on an edge or on a front or rear face of the eyeglass lens, the method comprising the steps of:

• applying a material in a liquid state to the edge or the front or rear face, and
• bonding the applied material with the lens and hardening the applied material by chemical reaction or by irradiation with electromagnetic waves such that the at least one structural element or each part of a multipart structural element is produced in a single application step in which a plurality of beads of defined shape or a plurality of strands of defined shape of the liquid material are applied adjacent one another or above one another at a rate of one bead or one strand with each application step by a nozzle and hardened, and the shape of the solidified structural element is defined by the cross-sectional or orifice shape of the nozzle or in a plurality of successive application steps, and in each application step a bead or a strand of the liquid material is applied and after each application step the applied bead or strand is hardened.
