Optical lens having off-center magnification gradiant

Eyewear for use on a wearer and positionable adjacent eyes of the wearer, the eyewear comprising:

• an eyewear frame having a pair of lens rims defining a pair of lens openings;
• and
• a pair of optical lenses being attachable to respective ones of the pair of lens rims to reside within respective ones of the pair of lens openings, each optical lens comprising:
• an inner surface and an outer surface, the lens being configured to be positionable adjacent a wearer's eye to enable viewing through both the inner and outer surfaces of the lens;
• and
• a plurality of dioptric regions, each dioptric region extending between the inner surface and the outer surface and being associated with a respective dioptric magnitude and a respective peripheral boundary having a peripheral magnitude, a difference in dioptric magnitude between adjacent peripheral boundaries being the same for all adjacent peripheral boundaries, the peripheral boundaries for the plurality of dioptric regions being disposed about a common center and being complementary in shape to each other and configured such the peripheral magnitude of each magnification region increases in a radially outward direction, each peripheral boundary being rotationally non-symmetric in configuration, the plurality of dioptric regions being arranged such that an axis extending from the common center towards a periphery of the lens passes through a respective periphery of each dioptric region located between the common center and the periphery of the lens along the axis, adjacent peripheries being separated by a region width along the axis, each sequential region width along the axis becoming smaller from the common center toward the periphery of the lens;
• the lens defining a geometric center residing on at least one of a longitudinal midline of the lens or a latitudinal midline of the lens;
• the common center being offset from the geometric center along two axes;
• the plurality of dioptric regions collectively occupying the majority of the lens;
• wherein the peripheral boundaries of the dioptric regions define enclosed loops, and each region width along the axis progressively decreases from the common center toward the periphery of the lens.
