Ophthalmic lenses incorporating a diffractive element

Abstract

An ophthalmic lens is provided that comprises a correction lens having a first focal region having a first focal power and a second focal region having a second focal power different from the first focal power. The ophthalmic lens further comprises a diffractive element having a diffractive element focal power that is additive to the second focal power. In some embodiments, the second focal region is a multi-focal region that may be a progressive addition region or an electro-active region.
