Claim:
Spectacle lens having object-sided front face and an eye-sided rear face, wherein the rear face is a smooth and continuous surface which comprises a viewing region disposed thereon which contributes to the optical effect of the spectacle lens, and wherein the rear face further comprises a carrier rim region also disposed thereon which surrounds at least partially the viewing region and which does not significantly contribute to the optical effect of the spectacle lens, wherein the rear face in the carrier rim region is constructed substantially based on desired cosmetic properties, without consideration of optical image-forming properties, wherein the viewing region is separated from the carrier rim region on the rear face of the spectacle lens by a dividing curve that connects penetrating points of outermost peripheral rays to the rear face, said outermost peripheral rays just barely passing, under direct vision, through a point of rotation of the eye when the spectacle lens is in a use position in front of an eye, wherein the carrier rim region extends from the dividing curve radially as far a peripheral curve matching a rim of the spectacle lens in an encased state, and wherein further the rear face in the carrier rim region is constructed to consider: at least one of a frame shape and a frame design; and individual parameters of the spectacle wearer.
