Im wondering what the light rays would look like, considering the image never actually forms before it hits the second lens.
Perhaps someone could share such an example?

Also, is this what happens with glasses?

It hurts my head to think about it.

What would happen if the second lens was inside of the first len's focal point?

You can still do it using the object formed by the first lens as a virtual object. You have to be very careful about the signs.

For a mathematical description, and equations:

Yes, there's your glasses, your cornea, and your lens.
