## Abstract

This invention provides a contact lens for myopia control comprising: an object-side surface comprising a central zone, a transition zone and a peripheral zone which are concentric and have different refractive power, at least one of the three zones being aspheric; and an image-side surface; wherein the central zone provides correction power to focus a foveal image on the retina, the peripheral zone provides a myopic defocus effect by generating a para-fovea image in front of the retina, and the transition zone with one or more focuses provides a refractive power in diopter (D) ranging from +0.25 D to +8.00 D.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A contact lens for myopia control comprising:
an object-side surface comprising a central zone, a transition zone, and a peripheral zone which are concentric and connected in a sequential order, the three zones having different refractive power and at least one of which being aspheric; and
an image-side surface,
wherein the central zone has an outer radius the same as an inner radius of the transition zone, the transition zone has an outer radius the same as an inner radius of the peripheral zone;
wherein the transition zone with one or more focuses provides refractive power in diopter (D) ranging from +0.25 D to +8.00 D; and
wherein the peripheral zone has an outer radius ranging from 5.49 to 7.7 mm.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The contact lens for myopia control according to claim 1, wherein the central zone has an outer radius ranging from 0.5 to 2.6 mm.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The contact lens for myopia control according to claim 1, wherein the transition zone has an inner radius ranging from 0.5 to 2.6 mm and an outer radius ranging from 1 to 3.9 mm.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The contact lens for myopia control according to claim 1, wherein the peripheral zone has an inner radius ranging from 1 to 3.9 mm.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The contact lens for myopia control according to claim 1, wherein the outer radius of the central zone is R1, the outer radius of the transition zone is R3, and they satisfy a relation of 1<R3/R1<5.

### Claim 6

A contact lens for myopia control comprising:
a central zone having an outer radius ranging from 0.5 to 2.6 mm;
a transition zone whose inner radius is the same as the outer radius of the central zone and whose outer radius is ranging from 1 to 3.9 mm; and
a peripheral zone whose inner radius is the same as the outer radius of the transition zone and whose outer radius is ranging from 5.49 to 7.7 mm,
wherein the three zones are concentric and connected in a sequential order, and the three zones have different refractive power and at least one of which is aspheric; and
wherein the central zone provides correction power to focus a foveal image on the retina, the transition zone with one or more focuses provides refractive power in diopter (D) ranging from +0.25 D to +8.00 D and thereby to focus images between the fovea and the para-fovea on or in front of the retina, and the peripheral zone provides a myopic defocus effect by generating a para-fovea image in front of the retina.
