Abstract
Ophthalmic lens including at least one spherical face with an optical center and a geometrical center, and having in succession a top vision region, an intermediate vision region and a bottom vision region, with a principal meridian of progression traversing the three vision regions of the aspherical face, the lens being noteworthy in that the top vision region is adapted for mid-distance vision, the bottom vision region is adapted for near-distance vision, and the intermediate vision region is adapted for intermediate distance vision, and in that the optical center of the aspherical face is in the intermediate vision region, the optical center coinciding with the geometrical center of aspherical face. This lens is particularly suitable for people with emmetropic longsightedness.
Claims10
An ophthalmic lens including at least one aspherical face having an optical centre defined as being a point of the lens such that a light ray from infinity and crossing the lens at this point does not undergo any angular deviation, a geometrical centre and successively comprising a top vision region, an intermediate vision region and a bottom vision region, as well as a principal meridian of progression crossing said three vision regions of the aspherical face, wherein:
- the top vision region is adapted for mid-distance vision, said mid-distance being a distance between 80 cm and 5 m, and said top vision region corresponding to a region of the aspherical face located above the optical centre and having a constant sphere power on the principal meridian of progression, and a value of which is comprised between 0.2 and 2.0 diopters;
- the bottom vision region is adapted for close distance vision, said close distance being a reading distance between 20 and 40 cm, and said bottom vision corresponding to a region of the aspherical face located below an optical centre and having a constant sphere power on the principal meridian of progression, and a value of which is comprised between 0.8 and 3.5 diopters;
- and
- the intermediate vision region is adapted for intermediate distance vision, said intermediate distance being a distance between 50 and 80 cm, beyond the close distance and below the mid-distance, said intermediate vision region corresponding to a region of the aspherical face having a sphere power variation along the principal meridian of progression between the top and bottom vision regions, said sphere power variation being comprised between 0.6 and 2.2 diopters;
- and
- wherein said aspherical face has an optical centre in said intermediate vision region, said optical centre coinciding with the geometrical centre of the aspherical face.
