Why do goggle lens does not have any power even when they are curved?

Goggle lenses don't have magnifying power because the front and back of the lens is curved the same. Lenses only have refracting (magnifying or size-reducing) power if the front of the lens is curved differently than the back of the lens. If the curvatures produce a lens that is thicker at the center than at the edges, then it will magnify. A lens that is thinner at the center than at the edges will be size-reducing.
