Multifocal correction providing improved quality of vision

A pair of corrective optical lenses adapted to move with and change the power of a user's first and second eyes, comprising:

• a first corrective optical lens for use with the first eye of the user, the first corrective optical lens including a first radially extending optical zone having a first power that, when combined with the power of the user's first eye, is adapted to result in a first net power that increases as the radius of the first radially extending optical zone increases;
• and
• a second corrective optical lens for use with the second eye of the user, the second corrective optical lens including a second radially extending optical zone having a second power that, when combined with the power of the user's second eye, is adapted to result in a second net power that decreases as the radius of the second radially extending optical zone increases;
• wherein the first net power is greater than the second net power;
• and
• wherein the sizes and powers of the first and second radially extending optical zones' are adapted to attenuate visibility to the user of defocused light.

A method of adapting an optical lens to have more than one power, comprising the steps of:

• forming a first radially extending optical zone of the lens to have a first power that, when combined with the power of a user's eye, is adapted to result in a first net power that increases as the radius of the first radially extending optical zone increases;
• forming a second radially extending optical zone of the lens to have a second power that, when combined with the power of the user's eye, is adapted to result in a second net power that decreases as the radius of the second radially extending optical zone increases;
• adapting the first radially extending optical zone and the second radially extending optical zone to cause the first net power to be greater than the second net power;
• and
• adapting the sizes and powers of the first and second radially extending optical zones to attenuate visibility to the user of defocused light.
