Abstract

A device and method for a non-uniform lens which incorporates geometry for external and internal eye relief which meets requirements of optical corrections and optical sighting systems is provided. The geometry of the front and back surfaces of a lens are approximated by curve-fitting polynomials so that the optical correction is included. The non-uniform mask lens can be made of any optical material and can be cast or injection molded.
