Method of manufacturing rimless spectacles and a mask suited for use with said method

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing rimless spectacles in which fasteners of the lugs and the bridge of the spectacles are adhesively bonded to the front side or the rear side of the lenses. In the method first of all two lens blanks are manufactured of a plastic material to the front and rear side of which a coating is applied. The two coated lens blanks are cut and ground in a way that two lenses having a desired lens shape are obtained. At predetermined mounting positions for the fasteners of the lugs and the bridge on the front or rear side of the lenses the coating is removed so as to form joining surfaces which substantially correspond to the joining surfaces of the fasteners as to shape and dimensions. The fasteners are then adhesively bonded to the front side and/or to the rear side of the lenses at the mounting positions. Since in the area of the joining surfaces at the lenses the base material thereof is exposed, a permanently firm adhesively bonded joint can be produced between the fasteners and the lenses on the front or rear side thereof using adhesives known per se.
