Abstract
An ophthalmic lens includes a lens material having two curved surfaces opposing each other; a light scattering region; a first aperture (e.g., clear or with reduced scattering density/power compared to the light scattering region) surrounded by the light scattering region; and a second aperture (e.g., clear or with reduced scattering density/power compared to the light scattering region) separated from the first clear aperture by a portion of the light scattering region.
Claims20
1-16. (canceled)
The ophthalmic lens of claim 27, further comprising a clear area surrounding the light scattering region, wherein the clear aperture is continuous with the clear area.
The ophthalmic lens of claim 27, wherein the light scattering region comprises optical structures sized and arranged to reduce contrast of an image viewed through the light scattering region compared with the clear aperture.
19-26. (canceled)
An ophthalmic lens, comprising:
- a lens material having two opposing curved surfaces, the curved surfaces defining a lens axis;
- a light scattering region;
- a clear aperture extending from the lens axis to a periphery of the light scattering region.
