The lower edge may have a nosepiece opening formed therein for mounting the lens on a nose of a wearer. The lens has a horizontal arcuate cross-sectional configuration which defines opposing lateral segments and a central zone interposed therebetween. The lateral segments each have a first radius of curvature designated R<SUB>1</SUB>, and the central zone has a second radius of curvature designated R<SUB>2</SUB>. The lens can also have a vertical arcuate cross-sectional configuration which has a third radius of curvature designated R<SUB>3</SUB>. In a preferred embodiment, R<SUB>1</SUB><R<SUB>2</SUB><=R<SUB>3</SUB>.
