Spectacle lens and method for designing the same

Abstract

An object is to not lose an effect of suppressing the progression of myopia or hyperopia even in a peripheral area of a spectacle lens. A spectacle lens and a technology related thereto are provided, the spectacle lens including: a first area that causes light rays incident on an object-side face of the lens to exit from an eyeball-side face of the lens and to converge at a predetermined position A on a retina of a wearer; and a plurality of second areas configured to cause light rays to converge at a position B on the object side or a position C on the distal side relative to the position A, wherein, in the first area in a peripheral area of the spectacle lens that is a radius range from 4.5 mm to 25 mm of a lens center, a refractive power error in a meridional direction and a refractive power error in a sagittal direction have values that cause light rays to converge in a direction extending from a vicinity of the position A toward the position B if the second areas cause the light rays to converge at the position B, or have values that cause light rays to converge in a direction extending from the vicinity of the position A toward the position C if the second areas cause the light rays to converge at the position C.
