I do not see any problem with that. :) Just glass as lens (according to physic)
If You have problem with this I can make basic scene.

I doubt You need whole spectrum of effects for this what You want (caustic, colour spectrum refraction). So,then use just basic model of lens, according to physic. Refraction index for glass is around 1.5 but this doesn`t means you need keep it exactly. I remind, the lens effect is depends also from convexity of glass. This can be easy control by Y direction in Layout. The effect You can see immediately under LW VPR. :)
