Clock, watch and similar glasses, glasses for non-corrective or corrective spectacles, curved, bent, hallowed etc, not optically worked; hollow glass spheres and their segments for manufacture
In plain English
This category includes curved, bent, or hollowed glass items that have not been optically worked, such as lenses for clocks, watches, and spectacles. The goods are split into two groups based on their intended use. One group covers lenses specifically for corrective eyewear. The other group encompasses lenses for non-corrective spectacles, clock or watch glasses, and hollow glass spheres or segments used to manufacture these items.
