German term or phrase: optische Verglasung
Eyewear brochure - some models available with "optische Verglasung" - I know that these glasses are fitted with prescription lenses but is there an appropriate term for "Verglasung" in English?

neutral  Colin Rowe: Doesn't the "RX insert" here correspond to "Korrektionseinsatz" rather than "optische Verglasung"?
