A contact lens is provided. The contact lens, which is round, has a side shearing at inside edge and has defocusing zone or multifocal zone near the central optical zone. The defocusing zone maintains a hyperopia or myopia diopter to avoid the user's myopia diopter increase.

A lens for slowing or preventing the development of myopia includes an optical portion and a peripheral portion surrounding the optical portion. The distribution of the refractive power of the optical portion is expressed by an exponential growth function. Assume that a specific condition is satisfied. The farther away from the center of the lens, the greater the change in the refractive power. Thus, a defocus area is formed to control and prevent eye myopia. Besides, the distribution of refractive power can provide a larger visible area in order to effectively avoid visual instability caused by lens sliding.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for reducing dysphotopsia effects, such as straylight, haloes and glare, in diffractive lenses. Exemplary ophthalmic lenses can include a diffractive profile that distributes light among a near focal length, a far focal length, and one or more intermediate focal length. The diffractive profile provides for minimized or zero step heights between one or more pairs of diffractive zones for reducing visual artifacts.

A multifocal IOL including at least one diffractive surface including a plurality of discrete, adjacent, diffractive, concentric rings, having a radial phase profile cross-section with a near-symmetrical diffractive surface topography, and an odd number, greater than three, of diffractive orders and an asymmetrical distribution of energy flux over the diffractive orders.

An ophthalmic lens comprising a front surface; a back surface; and one or more geometrically defined shapes and/or contour optical elements formed by changing the curvature of at least one of the front surface of the ophthalmic lens and/or a back surface of the ophthalmic lens; wherein the one or more geometrically defined shapes and/or contour optical elements on the surface of the ophthalmic lens are formed by applying a function to one or more parameters of the ophthalmic lens in a predefined region of the ophthalmic lens and in a predefined direction.

An ophthalmic lens, comprising a central zone having at least a first power, and a peripheral zone having an add-power offset relative to the at least first power and a spatially-modulated optical parameter. In some embodiments, the central zone has a diameter in the range 2.0 to 5.0 mm. In some embodiments, the central zone is not more than 1 mm smaller than a wearer's pupil. The spatially-modulated optical parameter may include optical power, light scattering or light transmission.

An ophthalmic lens configured to correct and/or treat at least one condition of the eye (e.g., presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, binocular vision disorders and/or visual fatigue syndrome) comprising: a central optical zone; a peripheral optical zone; a base power profile; and at least one feature selected to modify the base power profile and to form one or more off-axis focal points in front of, on, and/or behind a retinal image plane and reduce a focal point energy level at one or more image planes; wherein the at least one feature may be located on a front surface and/or a back surface of at least one of the central optical zone and the peripheral optical zone.

A multifocal IOL including at least one diffractive surface including a plurality of discrete, adjacent, diffractive, concentric rings, having a radial phase profile cross-section with a near-symmetrical diffractive surface topography, and an odd number, greater than three, of diffractive orders and an asymmetrical distribution of energy flux over the diffractive orders.

Ophthalmic lenses include one or more annular sectors configured to provide one or more off-axis corrections to light incident on the peripheral retina to inhibit myopia progression. An ophthalmic lens includes a central zone and an annular zone that includes an annular sector configured to provide a myopia inhibiting wavefront correction to light from a peripheral vision region of a peripheral visual field of the use. The first annular sector is configured so that light from the peripheral vision region passes through the first annular sector to form an image of the peripheral vision region on an annular region of the peripheral retina. The myopia inhibiting wavefront correction reduces a circumferential-to-radial aspect ratio of the image of the first peripheral vision region.

A class of prismatic contact lenses includes a first prism zone, having a first prism and a first optical power; and a progressive prism zone, adjacent to the first prism zone, having a progressive prism that varies from the first prism to a second prism. The prismatic contact lens can further comprise a second prism zone, adjacent to the progressive prism zone, having the second prism and a second optical power. Another class of prismatic contact lenses include a first prism zone, having a first prism and a first optical power; a second prism zone, adjacent to the first prism zone, having a second prism and a second optical power; and a sharp transition between the first prism zone and the second prism zone.
