Abstract

An eyeglass lens for an optical imaging element for producing a virtual image of an initial image includes a main body and at least one complementary element mounted on the main body. The main body has a material with a first index of refraction n1. A viscous or solid intermediate layer is arranged between the complementary element and the main body at least in the region where the complementary element overlaps with a reflection section of the main body. The material of the viscous or solid intermediate layer has a second index of refraction n2 that satisfies the condition n2<n1 sin(θE). θE is an angle of incidence of the light beams of the imaging beam path proceeding from the incoupling section and incident on the reflection section, selected such that at least 50% of the light beams of the imaging beam path have an angle of incidence of θ>θE.
