The curved glass in a pair of spectacles is called a lens. You will find that most spectacles are fitted with plastic lenses rather than glass lenses. The curvature of the lens determines the power/prescription/lens strength. Lens thickness, weight and curvature will vary from person to person depending on what type of prescription they need.
