An optical lens intended to be worn in front of an eye of a wearer having at least one prescribed refractive power Px, the optical lens comprising two opposite optical faces and a plurality of contiguous optical elements at least part of the optical elements having an optical function of not focusing an image on the retina of the eye of the wearer so as to slow down the progression of the abnormal refraction of the eye, wherein: —over a pupil having at least a 4 mm diameter, one can measure in a plane corresponding to the at least one prescribed refractive power along at least one direction, a Modulation Transfer Function through the optical lens greater than 0.1 between 0 and 20 cyc/deg; —a majority of the light rays passing through the optical lens over said pupil pass through at least one of the plurality of optical elements, and—each of the contiguous optical element verifies that Formula (I) with d a characteristic dimension of the contour of said optical element in mm, |P| the absolute value of a characteristic optical power of said optical element expressed in diopter, and K a number greater or equal to 0.9 and smaller than or equal to 1.7.
An optical lens intended to be worn in front of an eye of a wearer having at least one prescribed refractive power Px, the optical lens comprising:
A molding element for a lens element comprising a plurality of contiguous optical elements, comprising a main surface having a curvature and comprising a plurality contiguous surfacic elements, each surfacic element having a curvature that differs from the curvature of the main surface,
