An ophthalmic device including an ophthalmic lens having anterior and posterior surfaces and at least one diffraction grating is described. The diffraction grating(s) are on the anterior and/or posterior surface(s). The diffraction grating(s) include zones. A first zone is at a first distance range from a center of the lens. A second zone is at a second distance range further from the center than the first distance range. A repeat zone is at a third distance range further from the center than the second distance range. The first zone includes echelette(s) having a first step height and a first radius of curvature. The second zone includes echelette(s) having a second step height and a second radius of curvature. The repeat zone includes echelette(s) having at least one of the first step height and the first radius of curvature.

Provided is a technology that makes a change in the amount of aberration that is a combination of aberration in an eye and aberration in a spectacle lens robust with respect to rotation. Provided are a method for designing a spectacle lens and related technologies in which, when rotational asymmetry of an aberration distribution of an eye of a wearer about an optical axis is strong, a spectacle lens that has an aberration distribution of which rotational asymmetry is weak in a region having a predetermined width and a center at any point on a main meridian of the spectacle lens is obtained as a design solution, and when rotational asymmetry of the aberration distribution of the eye of the wearer about the optical axis is weak, a spectacle lens of which rotational asymmetry is strong in the region is obtained as a design solution.

A fog shield for a diagnostic ophthalmic lens is disclosed. The shield has a lens mount and an air barrier. The lens mount is configured to connect to a diagnostic ophthalmic lens. The air barrier is connected to the lens mount and extends in front of the lens mount. The air barrier is located below and in front of the diagnostic ophthalmic lens when the lens mount is connected to the diagnostic ophthalmic lens.

The disclosure is related to a new soft contact lens with edge to edge photochromic material where geometry of the optical region and the peripheral region of the lens are optimized to give the best cosmetic effect on eye. The vision correction component and the mechanical component of that soft contact lens are designed independently from each other. The design of each component, vision and mechanical, is achieved by the mean of using diffractive optics.
