Abstract
An optical device including at least one corrective optical lens that is adapted to be attached to and detached from at least one non-corrective optical lens, wherein the at least one corrective lens further includes at least one thermoplastic polymer having predetermined optical characteristics that confer vision correcting or magnifying properties to the at least one thermoplastic polymer; and at least one non-phthalate plasticizer blended with the at least one thermoplastic polymer, wherein the corrective optical lens is adapted to be attachable to a surface of the non-corrective optical lens by utilizing inherent van der Waals forces of attraction occurring between the corrective optical lens and the non-corrective optical lens, and wherein the inherent van der Waals forces of attraction occurring between the corrective optical lens and the non-corrective optical lens are enhanced by blending the at least one non-phthalate plasticizer with the at least one thermoplastic polymer.
