Abstract: An optical lens having a colored coating affixed to the edge of the lens. The apparatus may enhance the cosmetic appearance of eyeglasses by reducing the appearance of the white ring appearing along the perimeter of the face of lens when viewing eyeglasses from the front, and by reducing the appearance of the white film on the edge of lenses when viewing eyeglasses from the side. The apparatus may also reduce the glare of the optical lens from light entering through the edge of the lens.
