German term or phrase: aufgesetzte Linsen
"Wir können die entsprechenden Ortho-K Linsen auch gerne
derart gestalten, dass mit *aufgesetzten Linsen* optimale
Fernkorrektur gewährleistet ist und ohne Linsen, Monovision
oder binokulare Nahkorrektion erzeugt wird."

It is important to note that these lenses are not worn during the day for the purpose of improving vision. They are worn at night and serve to "shape" the cornea such that vision is improved without surgery.
So it is against this background that the "aufgesetzte Linsen/ohne Linsen" bit has me confounded.
TIA for your help.
