A method for demonstrating an optical disorder includes providing two ophthalmic lenses in a first position relative to each other. Each lens includes a first vision zone and a second vision zone. The first vision zone includes a distance vision zone having a distance vision reference point and a power of between about −1.00 Diopters and −4.00 Diopters. The second vision zone includes a near vision zone having a near vision reference point and a power of between about +1.00 Diopters and about +4.00 Diopters. Each lens includes an Add power of between +2.00 Diopters and +3.25 Diopters; the ophthalmic lenses are repositioned to a second position relative to each other, so the distance vision zone of each lens is viewable by a wearer through the near vision zone and the near vision zone of each lens is viewable by a wearer through the distance vision zone.

A lens element worn in front of an eye of a person includes a refraction area having a first refractive power based on a prescription for correcting an abnormal refraction of the eye of the person and a second refractive power different from the first refractive power and a plurality of at least three optical elements, at least one optical element having an optical function of not focusing an image on the retina of the eye so as to slow down the progression of the abnormal refraction of the eye.

A bifocal spectacle lens and a method for creating a numerical representation of a bifocal spectacle lens are disclosed. The bifocal spectacle lens includes a distance portion, a near portion, and a transition section situated between the distance portion and the near portion. The distance portion is optimized in view of an optical power for distance vision and the near portion is optimized in view of an optical power for near vision. The transition section is determined such that the transition section creates a continuous transition between the distance portion and the near portion. The distance portion and the near portion are optimized independently of one another and put together with the transition section to form the numerical representation of the bifocal spectacle lens.

Apparatus and methods are described including a progressive lens that is configured to provide a far-vision correction and a near-vision correction. The progressive lens includes a single-focus, far-vision corrective lens that is configured to provide only a portion of the far-vision correction, and a film coupled to the single-focus, far-vision corrective lens. The film defines a far-vision corrective portion that is configured to provide the remainder of the far-vision correction, a near-vision corrective portion that is configured to provide additive near-vision correction, and an intermediate portion in which the film transitions between the far-vision corrective portion and the near-vision corrective portion. Other applications are also described.

The present invention relates to a contact lens for presbyopia and, more specifically, to a contact lens for presbyopia, providing both a far-distance vision area and a near-distance vision area in one contact lens, and continuously forming a lens magnification of the far-distance vision area and the near-distance vision area of the dominant eye and the non-dominant eye while changing the sizes of the far-distance vision area and the near-distance vision area of two eyes according to the dominant eye and the non-dominant eye, such that an intermediate-distance area is partially overlapped, thereby continuously providing a near-distance vision area at a far distance by a neural summation phenomenon that selects a clearly visible image in both eyes.
