- a second toric surface 42 lies on the right side of the light entry surface.
- a third toric surface 44 is located between the first toric surface 40 and the second toric surface 42.
- a profile is understood to mean a space curve running in a plane. For each cutting plane parallel to the optical axis, each profile defines such a cutting plane.
- the first toric surface 40 has a first, vertically extending profile 40.1 with an absolute minimum curvature. This first profile is convexly curved.
- the first toric surface has a second, horizontally extending profile 40.2 with the maximum curvature in terms of magnitude. This second profile is also convexly curved.
- the first profile 40.1 and the second profile 40.2 are perpendicular to each other.
- the second toric surface 42 has a first, vertically extending profile 42.1 with an absolute minimum curvature. This profile is convex curved.
- the second toric surface 42 has a second, horizontally extending profile 42.2 with an absolute maximum curvature. This second profile is concavely curved.
- the first profile 42.1 and the second profile 42.2 are perpendicular to each other.
- the third toric surface 44 has a first profile 44.1 with an absolute minimum curvature. This profile is convex curved.

- the sectional planes of maximum and minimum curvature are perpendicular to each other within a facet.
- the curvature of the more vertically oriented profiles visible there as the right edges is comparatively small.
- the curvatures of the profiles of the first toric surface and the second toric surface visible there as lower edges are comparatively large.
- the curvatures of the Figure 4c are compared with the curvatures in FIG. 4b maximum. This can be generalized so that the cutting planes of maximum curvature and minimum curvature of a facet in the lens are perpendicular to each other.
- the position of the profile planes of the curvature extremes depends on the position of the light-dark boundaries generated thereby. Facets which generate differently inclined light-dark boundaries have at the same angle around the optical axis against each other twisted profile planes of maximum or minimum curvature. In the example shown, this is 30 degrees.
