Description

Lens element

The present invention relates to a lens element which is intended to be worn in front of a human eye in order to suppress or reduce the development of eye refractive errors such as myopia or hyperopia.

The characteristic of myopia of the eye is that the eye focuses distant objects in front of its retina. Concave lenses are often used to correct myopia, and convex lenses are often used to correct hyperopia.

It has been observed that some individuals are inaccurately focused when using conventional single vision optical lenses for correction, especially when children observe objects located at close distances (ie, under near vision conditions). Because of this focus defect in a part of myopic children corrected for hyperopia, images of nearby objects are formed behind the retina (even in the fovea).

This focus defect may have an impact on the development of myopia in such individuals. It can be observed that for most of the individuals, myopic defects tend to worsen over time.

The foveal vision corresponds to the observation status of the image of the object viewed by the eye formed in the central area of the retina called the fovea.

Peripheral vision corresponds to the perception of scene elements that are laterally offset with respect to the object being viewed, and images of the elements are formed on the peripheral portion of the retina, away from the fovea.

The ophthalmic correction provided to subjects with refractive errors is usually suitable for his foveal vision. However, it is known that relative to the correction determined for foveal vision, the correction must be reduced for peripheral vision. In particular, studies conducted on monkeys have shown that significant defocusing behind the retina that occurs away from the fovea may cause the eyes to elongate, and thus may cause aggravation of myopia.

Therefore, there seems to be a need for a lens element that can suppress or at least slow down the development of refractive errors such as myopia or hyperopia.

To this end, the present invention proposes a lens element intended to be worn in front of the wearer's eyes, the lens element comprising: -Refractive area, which has refractive power based on the prescription of the wearer's eyes; -A plurality of at least two consecutive optical elements, at least one optical element having an optical function of not focusing the image on the retina of the wearer's eye, in order to slow down the development of the refractive error of the eye.

Advantageously, having an optical element configured to not focus the image on the wearer's retina reduces the natural tendency of the eye's retinal deformation, especially elongation. Therefore, the development of the eye's refractive error is slowed.

In addition, having a continuous optical element helps to improve the aesthetics of the lens element, and particularly limits the degree of discontinuity on the surface of the lens element.

In the remainder of this manual, you can use terms such as "upper", "bottom", "horizontal", "vertical", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", or other instructions for relative positions Word. Understand the terms under the lens element wearing conditions.

In the context of the present invention, the term "lens element" may refer to uncut optical lenses or spectacle optical lenses or ophthalmic lenses that are edged to fit a particular spectacle frame and optical devices suitable for positioning on ophthalmic lenses. The optical device can be positioned on the front or back surface of the ophthalmic lens. The optical device may be an optical patch. The optical device may be adapted to be removably positioned on the ophthalmic lens, such as a clip, which is configured to be clipped on a spectacle frame including the ophthalmic lens.

The lens element 10 according to the present invention is suitable for a wearer and is intended to be worn in front of the wearer's eyes.

As represented in FIG. 1, the lens element 10 according to the present invention includes: -Refractive zone 12, and -Multiple continuous optical elements 14.

The refractive area 12 is configured to provide the wearer with the first optical power under standard wearing conditions, especially for foveal vision, based on the wearer's prescription for correcting the wearer's refractive error of the eye degree.

The wearing condition should be understood as the position of the lens element relative to the wearer's eye, such as from anterior tilt, cornea to lens distance, pupil to cornea distance, eye rotation center (CRE) to pupil distance, CRE to lens distance, and package Angle.

The corneal-to-lens distance is the distance between the cornea and the posterior surface of the lens along the visual axis of the eye at the first eye position (usually regarded as horizontal), for example equal to 12 mm.

The distance between the pupil and the cornea is the distance between the pupil and the cornea along the visual axis of the eye, which is usually equal to 2 mm.

The CRE to pupil distance is the distance between its center of rotation (CRE) and the cornea along the visual axis of the eye, for example equal to 11.5 mm.

The CRE to lens distance is the distance between the CRE of the eye and the rear surface of the lens along the visual axis of the eye in the first eye position (often regarded as horizontal), for example equal to 25.5 mm.

The anteversion angle is at the intersection between the rear surface of the lens and the visual axis of the eye in the first eye position (usually regarded as horizontal), the normal to the rear surface of the lens and the first eye position. The angle between the visual axes of the eyes in the vertical plane, for example, equal to -8°.

The wrap angle is at the intersection between the rear surface of the lens and the visual axis of the eye in the first eye position (usually regarded as horizontal), the normal of the rear surface of the lens and the eye position in the first eye position The angle between the eye's visual axis and the horizontal plane, such as 0°.

Examples of standard wearer conditions can be -8° anteversion angle, 12 mm corneal to lens distance, 2 mm pupil-corneal distance, 11.5 mm CRE to pupil distance, 25.5 mm CRE to lens distance, and 0 The wrap angle of ° is defined.

The term "prescription" should be understood to refer to a set of optical properties of power, astigmatism, and prism deviations, which are determined by an ophthalmologist or optometrist in order to be corrected, for example, by means of lenses positioned in front of the wearer's eyes Defects in the eyes. For example, the prescription for myopia includes the power value and the astigmatism value with an axial position for distance vision.

Although the present invention does not relate to progressive lenses, the wording used in the present specification for progressive lenses is shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 of document WO 2016/146590. The technician can adjust these definitions for single vision lenses.

A graded lens includes at least one but preferably two non-rotationally symmetric aspheric surfaces, such as but not limited to graded surfaces, regression surfaces, toric surfaces, or aspheric surfaces.

其中Rmax為局部最大曲率半徑，用米來表示，並且CURVmin用屈光度來表示。It is known that the minimum curvature CURVmin at any point on the aspheric surface is defined by the following formula:

Where Rmax is the local maximum radius of curvature, expressed in meters, and CURVmin is expressed in diopters.

其中Rmin為局部最小曲率半徑，用米來表示，並且CURVmax用屈光度來表示。Similarly, the maximum curvature CURVmax at any point on the aspheric surface can be defined by the following formula:

Where Rmin is the local minimum radius of curvature, expressed in meters, and CURVmax is expressed in diopters.

It can be noted that when the surface is partially spherical, the local minimum radius of curvature Rmin and the local maximum radius of curvature Rmax are the same, and accordingly, the minimum and maximum curvatures CURVmin and CURVmax are also the same. When the surface is aspheric, the local minimum radius of curvature Rmin and the local maximum radius of curvature Rmax are different.

Based on these equations of minimum curvature CURVmin and maximum curvature CURVmax, the minimum and maximum spherical mirrors labeled SPHmin and SPHmax can be inferred from the type of surface considered.

As is well known, the average spherical mirror SPHmean at any point on the aspheric surface can also be defined by the following formula:

Therefore, the expression of the average spherical mirror depends on the surface under consideration:

The characteristics of any aspheric surface of the lens can be expressed by means of a local average spherical lens and a cylindrical lens. When the lenticular lens is at least 0.25 diopters, the surface can be considered to be partially aspheric.

For an aspheric surface, the local cylindrical axis position γAX can be further defined. Fig. 7a shows the astigmatic axis position γ defined in the TABO convention, and Fig. 7b shows the cylindrical axis position γAX in the convention defined for characterizing aspheric surfaces.

Cylindrical axis position γAX is the angle of orientation of the maximum curvature CURVmax relative to the reference axis position and in the selected rotation direction. In the convention defined above, the reference axis is horizontal (the angle of the reference axis is 0°) and the direction of rotation is counterclockwise for each eye when looking at the wearer (0° ≤ γAX ≤ 180°). Therefore, the +45° cylinder axis γAX axis value represents an obliquely oriented axis that extends from the quadrant located at the upper right to the quadrant located at the lower left when looking at the wearer.

In addition, considering the condition of the person wearing the lens, the progressive multifocal lens can also be defined by optical characteristics.

Figures 8 and 9 are diagrammatic representations of the optical system of the eye and lens, thus showing the definitions used in this specification. More precisely, Figure 8 shows a perspective view of such a system, showing the parameters α and β used to define the gaze direction. Fig. 9 is a vertical plan view parallel to the front and rear axes of the wearer's head, and the vertical plane passes through the eye rotation center when the parameter β is equal to 0.

Mark the center of eye rotation as Q’. The axis Q'F' shown with a chain line in Fig. 9 is a horizontal axis passing through the center of eye rotation and extending in front of the wearer, that is, the axis Q'F' corresponding to the main gaze angle. This axis cuts the aspherical surface of the lens at a point called the optician cross, which exists on the lens and enables the optician to position the lens in the frame. The intersection of the rear surface of the lens and the axis Q'F' is the point O. If O is located on the rear surface, it can be an optic cross. A top ball having a center Q'and a radius q'is tangent to the rear surface of the lens at a point on the horizontal axis. As an example, the value of the radius q'of 25.5 mm corresponds to a commonly used value, and provides satisfactory results when the lens is worn.

The given gaze direction—represented by the solid line in FIG. 8—corresponds to the position where the eye rotates around Q'and the point J of the top ball; the angle β is on the axis Q'F' and the straight line Q'J includes the axis Q' The angle formed between the projections on the horizontal plane of F'; this angle appears on the schematic diagram of FIG. 3. The angle α is the angle formed between the axis Q'J and the projection of the straight line Q'J on the horizontal plane including the axis Q'F'; this angle appears on the schematic diagrams of FIGS. 8 and 9. Therefore, a given attention view corresponds to the point J of the top ball or to a pair (α, β). If the value of the gaze lowering angle is greater in the positive direction, the gaze decreases more; and if the value is greater in the negative direction, the gaze increases more.

In a given gaze direction, an image of a point M at a given object distance in object space is formed between two points S and T corresponding to a minimum distance JS and a maximum distance JT, the minimum distance and the maximum distance It will be sagittal local focal length and tangential local focal length. At point F', an image of a point at infinity in object space is formed. The distance D corresponds to the posterior coronal plane of the lens.

The Ergorama function is a function that relates the usual distance of the object point to each gaze direction. Typically, in the view distance following the main gaze direction, the object point is at infinity. In the near vision following a gaze direction substantially corresponding to an angle α toward the nose side with an absolute value of about 35° and an angle β of about 5°, the object distance is about 30 to 50 cm. In order to know more details about the possible definition of the Igma function, one can consider US patent US-A-6,318,859. This document describes the Igma function, its definition and its modeling method. For the method of the invention, the point may be at infinity or not at infinity. The Egma function may be a function of the wearer's refractive error or the wearer's add light.

Use these elements to define the wearer's power and astigmatism in each gaze direction. For the gaze direction (α, β), consider the object point M at the object distance given by the Sigma function. The object proximity ProxO is defined as the reciprocal of the distance MJ between the point M and the point J of the top ball in the object space for the point M on the corresponding ray: ProxO = 1/MJ

This makes it possible to calculate the object's proximity within a thin lens approximation for all points of the top ball, which thin lens approximation is used to determine the Egma function. For a real lens, object proximity can be regarded as the reciprocal of the distance between the object point on the corresponding light and the front surface of the lens.

For the same gaze direction (α, β), the image of the point M with a given object proximity is formed at two points S corresponding to the minimum focal length and the maximum focal length (which will be the sagittal focal length and the tangential focal length), respectively And T. The quantity ProxI is called the image proximity of point M:

By analogy with thin lenses, for a given gaze direction and a given object proximity, that is, for a point of the object space on the corresponding light, the power Pui can be defined as the image proximity and the object proximity with.

With the same symbol notation, astigmatism Ast is defined as:

This definition corresponds to the astigmatism of the light beam produced by the lens. It can be noted that this definition gives typical values of astigmatism in the main gaze direction. The astigmatism angle γ, which is usually called the axial position. The angle γ is measured in the reference frame {Q', xm, ym, zm} associated with the eye. It corresponds to the angle by which the image S or T is formed, and this angle depends on the convention used in the direction zm in conjunction with the plane {Q', zm, ym}.

In the wearing conditions, the possible definitions of the lens power and astigmatism can therefore be calculated as explained in the paper by B. Bourdoncle et al. The title of the paper is "Ray tracing through gradient ophthalmic lenses. "Progressive ophthalmic lenses"" (1990 International Lens Design Conference, edited by DT Moore, meeting record of the Optoelectronic Optical Instrument Society).

The refractive area 12 may be further configured to provide a second power, especially for foveal vision, based on the direction of the wearer, which is different from the first power.

In the sense of the present invention, when the difference between the two powers is greater than or equal to 0.5 D, the two powers are considered to be different.

When the abnormal refractive power of the human eye corresponds to myopia, the second power is greater than the first power.

When the abnormal refractive power of the human eye corresponds to hyperopia, the second optical power is smaller than the first optical power.

The refractive area is preferably formed as an area other than the area formed as a plurality of optical elements. In other words, the refractive area is an area complementary to the area formed by the plurality of optical elements.

The refractive area may have a continuous power change. For example, the optical zone may have a gradual multi-focus design.

The optical design of the refractive zone may include -Optician cross, where the optical power is negative; -The first zone, which extends on the temporal side of the refractive area when the wearer wears the lens element. In the first zone, when extending towards the temporal side, the optical power increases, and on the nasal side of the lens, the optical power of the ophthalmic lens is substantially the same as that at the cross of the optician.

This optical design is disclosed in more detail in WO 2016/107919.

Alternatively, the power of the refractive area may include at least one discontinuity.

As shown in Fig. 1, the lens element can be divided into five complementary zones: a central zone 16, the power of which is equal to the first refractive power; four quadrants Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 at 45°, at least one The quadrant has at least a point where the power is equal to the second power.

In the sense of the present invention, according to the TABO convention shown in FIG. 1, "quadrant at 45°" should be understood as a 90° equiangular quadrant oriented in the direction of 45°/225° and 135°/315°.

Preferably, the central zone 16 includes a frame reference point and has a diameter greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 22 mm, the frame reference point facing the pupil of the wearer looking straight ahead under standard wearing conditions.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least the lower quadrant Q4 has a second optical power for central vision, which is different from the first optical power that conforms to the prescription for correcting refractive errors.

For example, the refractive area has a gradient multifocal refractive function. The gradient multifocal refractive function can extend between the upper quadrant Q2 and the lower quadrant Q4.

Advantageously, such a configuration allows to compensate for adjustment lag when a person is viewing at close range, for example due to the addition of lenses.

According to an embodiment, at least one of the temporal quadrant Q3 and the nasal quadrant Q1 has a second optical power. For example, the temporal quadrant Q3 has a power change with the lens eccentricity.

Advantageously, this configuration improves the efficiency of the control of refractive error in peripheral vision and has a greater effect on the horizontal axis.

According to an embodiment, the four quadrants Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 have concentric power gradients.

As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of optical elements 14 includes at least two consecutive optical elements.

In the sense of the present invention, if there are all paths supported by the surface of the lens element, connecting the two optical elements located on the surface of the lens element, the two optical elements are continuous, and if Path, an optical element does not reach the underlying data surface where the optical element is located.

When the surface on which the at least two optical elements are located is a spherical surface, the basic data surface corresponds to the spherical surface. In other words, if there is a path supported by a spherical surface and connecting two optical elements located on the spherical surface, the two optical elements are continuous, and if along the path, one optical element may not reach all The spherical surface.

When the surface on which at least two optical elements are located is an aspherical surface, the basic data surface corresponds to a partially spherical surface that is most suitable for the aspherical surface. In other words, if there is a path supported by an aspheric surface and connecting two optical elements located on the aspheric surface, the two optical elements are continuous, and if along the path, one optical element may not Reach the spherical surface best suited to the aspherical surface.

Advantageously, having a continuous optical element helps to improve the aesthetics of the lens element and is easier to manufacture.

At least one of the plurality of optical elements 14, preferably all optical elements have an optical function of not focusing the image on the retina of the wearer's eye, especially for peripheral vision and preferably central vision and peripheral vision.

In the sense of the present invention, "focusing" should be understood as producing a focusing spot with a circular cross-section, which can be reduced to a point in the focal plane.

Advantageously, this optical function of the optical element reduces the deformation of the retina of the wearer's eye under peripheral vision, allowing to slow the development of abnormal refractive power of the eye of the person wearing the lens element.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least two consecutive optical elements are independent.

In the sense of the present invention, if an independent image is produced, then the two optical elements are considered to be independent.

In particular, when "under central vision" is illuminated by a parallel beam, each "independent continuous optical element" forms a spot associated with it on a plane in image space. In other words, when one of the "optical elements" is hidden, the spots will disappear even if this optical element is continuous with the other optical element.

For the classic Fresnel earrings (with a single power) disclosed in US 7976158, the Fresnel earrings produce a single spot, and if a small part of the ring is hidden, the spot position will not change. Therefore, Fresnel earrings cannot be considered as a series of "independent continuous optical elements".

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the optical element has a specific size. In particular, the optical elements have an external shape that can be inscribed in a circle with a diameter greater than or equal to 0.8 mm and less than or equal to 3.0 mm, preferably greater than or equal to 1.0 mm and less than 2.0 mm.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the optical element is located on the network.

The network where the optical element is located may be a structured network, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 10 to 13.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 10 to 12, the optical element is positioned along multiple concentric rings.

The concentric ring of optical elements may be an annular ring.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the lens element further includes at least four optical elements. The at least four optical elements are organized into at least two groups of continuous optical elements. Each group of continuous optical elements is organized into at least two concentric rings with the same center. The concentric rings of each group of continuous optical elements consist of an inner diameter and an outer diameter. Path definition.

The inner diameter of the concentric ring of each set of optical elements corresponds to the smallest circle that is tangent to at least one of the set of optical elements. The outer diameter of the concentric ring of optical elements corresponds to the largest circle tangent to at least one optical element in the set.

In the sense of the present invention, the term "coincidence" should be understood to be very close together, for example less than 1.0 mm apart.

The distance D _i between two consecutive concentric rings may vary according to i. For example, the distance D _i between two consecutive concentric rings can vary between 2.0 mm and 5.0 mm.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the distance D _i between the concentric rings of two consecutive optical elements is greater than 2.00 mm, preferably 3.0 mm, more preferably 5.0 mm.

Advantageously, having a distance D _i greater than 2.00 mm between two consecutive optical element concentric rings allows a larger refractive area to be managed between such optical element rings, thereby providing better visual acuity.

Considering that the annular area of the lens element has an inner diameter greater than 9 mm and an outer diameter less than 57 mm, the geometric center is located at a distance of less than 1 mm from the optical center of the lens element. The ratio between the total area and the area of the circular area is between 20% and 70%, preferably between 30% and 60%, and more preferably between 40% and 50%.

In other words, the inventors have observed that for a given value of the above ratio, the continuous optical elements are organized into concentric rings, where the rings are separated by a distance greater than 2.0 mm, allowing the annular region providing the refractive area to be set at The refraction areas managed in a hexagonal network or randomly arranged on the surface of the lens element are easier to manufacture, thereby providing better correction of eye refractive errors, and therefore better visual acuity.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the diameter di of all optical elements of the lens element is the same.

According to an embodiment of the invention, as i increases towards the periphery of the lens element, the distance D _i between two consecutive concentric rings i and i+1 can increase.

The optical element concentric ring may have a diameter between 9 mm and 60 mm.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the lens element comprises optical elements arranged in at least 2 concentric rings, preferably more than 5, more preferably more than 10 concentric rings. For example, the optical element may be arranged as 11 concentric rings centered on the optical center of the lens.

In Figure 1, the optical element is a micro-lens positioned along a set of 5 concentric rings. The power of the microlenses and/or the lenticular lenses can be different depending on their position along the concentric rings.

In Fig. 10, the optical elements correspond to different magnetic regions of concentric circles.

In Fig. 11b, the optical element corresponds to a part of a pure cylindrical concentric ring, as shown in Fig. 11a. In this example, the optical element has a constant power but has a variable cylinder axis position.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, for example as shown in FIG. 12, the lens element may further include an optical element 14 positioned radially between two concentric rings. In the example shown in FIG. 12, only four optical elements are placed between two concentric rings, however, more optical elements can be placed between the two rings.

Optical elements can be placed on structured networks, which are square networks or hexagonal networks or triangular networks or octagonal networks.

This embodiment of the invention is shown in FIG. 13 where the optical element 14 is placed on a square grid.

Alternatively, the optical elements can be placed on a random structure network, such as a Voronoid network, as shown in FIG. 14.

Advantageously, placing the optical elements on a random structure limits the risk of light scattering or diffraction.

Different connections between two consecutive optical elements are possible.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 15a and 15b, at least a part, for example, all of the optical elements have a constant power and a discontinuous first derivative between two consecutive optical elements. In the examples shown in FIGS. 15a and 15b, the angle coordinates in the reference to the polar coordinates of the teta series. As can be observed in this embodiment, there is no area between successive optical elements without spherical mirrors.

Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 16a and 16b, at least a part, for example, all of the optical elements have a varying power and a continuous first derivative between two consecutive optical elements.

In order to obtain this change, two constant powers can be used here, one for positive and one for negative. The area of negative power is much smaller than the area of positive power, so the overall power has a positive power effect.

An important point in this embodiment shown in FIGS. 16a and 16b is that the Z coordinate is always positive compared to the refractive area.

As shown in FIG. 2, the lens element 10 according to the present invention includes an object-side surface F1 formed as a convex curved surface toward the object side, and an eye-side surface F2 formed as a concave surface having a curvature different from that of the object-side surface F1 .

According to an embodiment of the invention, at least a part, for example all of the optical elements are located on the front surface of the lens element.

At least a part, for example, all optical elements may be located on the rear surface of the lens element.

At least a part, for example, all the optical elements may be located between the front surface and the rear surface of the lens element. For example, the lens element may include regions with different refractive indices that form the optical element.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one optical element has an optical function of focusing an image on a position other than the retina for peripheral vision.

Preferably, at least 50%, for example at least 80%, for example all optical elements have an optical function of focusing the image on a position other than the retina for peripheral vision.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least for peripheral vision, all optical elements are configured such that the average focus of the light passing through each optical element is at the same distance from the wearer's retina.

The optical function of each optical element, especially the refractive function, can be optimized to provide a focus image at a constant distance from the retina of the wearer's eye, especially under peripheral vision. This optimization requires adjusting the refractive function of each optical element according to the position of the optical element on the lens element.

In particular, the inventors have determined that the dot pattern of the light beam passing through the spherical 3D-shaped microlenses analyzed under peripheral vision (30° from the center of the pupil) is not a point.

To obtain a point, the inventor has determined that the optical element should have a cylindrical power, for example, having a toric shape.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the optical element is configured such that along at least one section of the lens, the average spherical mirror of the optical element increases from a certain point of the section toward the periphery of the section.

In other words, the inventors have observed that the optical element is configured so that along at least one section of the lens, the average spherical mirror of the optical element increases from the point of the section toward the peripheral portion of the section, contributing to Slow down the development of eye refractive errors such as myopia or hyperopia.

The optical element may be configured such that along at least one section of the lens, the average spherical mirror and/or lenticular lens of the optical element increases from the center of the section toward the peripheral portion of the section.

The average spherical mirror and/or cylindrical lens may increase along at least one horizontal section according to an increase function, which is a Gaussian function. The Gaussian function can be different between the nose and the temporal portion of the lens in order to take into account the asymmetry of the human retina.

Alternatively, the average spherical mirror and/or cylindrical lens may increase along at least one horizontal section according to an increase function, which is a quadratic function. The quadratic function may be different between the nose and the temporal portion of the lens in order to take into account the asymmetry of the human retina.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the average spherical mirror and/or cylindrical lens of the optical element increases from the first point of the section toward the peripheral portion of the section, and from the second point of the section toward the The peripheral portion of the section decreases, and the second point is closer to the peripheral portion of the section than the first point.

Such an embodiment is shown in Table 1, which provides the average spherical mirror of the optical element according to their radial distance from the optical center of the lens element.

As shown in Table 1, starting from close to the optical center of the lens element, the average spherical mirror of the optical element increases toward the peripheral portion of the section, and then decreases toward the peripheral portion of the section.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the average lenticular lens of the optical element increases from the first point of the section toward the peripheral portion of the section, and from the second point of the section toward the periphery of the section Partially reduced, the second point is closer to the peripheral portion of the section than the first point.

Such an embodiment is shown in Tables 2 and 3, which provides the magnitude of the lenticular vector projected in the first direction Y corresponding to the local radial direction and the second direction X orthogonal to the first direction.

In the example of Table 2, the optical element is a microlens placed on the front surface of the sphere with a curvature of 167.81 mm, and the lens element is made of an optical material with a refractive index of 1.591, and the prescription power of the wearer is -6 D.

For example, the optical elements may be regularly distributed along a circle centered on the optical center of the refractive area.

The optical element on a circle with a diameter of 40 mm and centered on the optical center of the refractive area may be a micro-lens with an average spherical mirror of 5.75 D.

The cylinders of different microlenses can be adjusted based on the shape of the human retina.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the refractive area includes a farsighted reference point, a nearsighted reference point, and a meridian connecting the farsighted reference point and the nearsighted reference point.

Preferably, under standard wearing conditions and for peripheral vision, at least 50%, for example at least 80%, for example all optical elements 14 have an unfocused optical function.

In the sense of the present invention, "unfocused optical function" should be understood as not having a single focal point for peripheral vision under standard wearing conditions.

Alternatively, this optical function of the optical element reduces the deformation of the retina of the wearer's eye, allowing to slow the development of refractive errors in the eye of the person wearing the lens element.

At least one optical element having a non-focusing optical function is transparent.

The optical center of the lens element may correspond to the fitting point of the lens.

Alternatively, the optical element may be provided on the entire surface of the lens element.

The optical element density or focal metric can be adjusted according to the area of the lens element.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the optical elements, preferably more than 50%, more preferably more than 80% of the optical elements are aspherical microlenses. In the sense of the present invention, aspherical microlenses have a continuous power evolution on their surface.

Aspheric microlenses may have asphericity between 0.1 D and 3 D. The asphericity of an aspherical microlens corresponds to the ratio of the power measured at the center of the microlens to the power measured at the periphery of the microlens.

The center of the microlens can be defined by a spherical area centered on the geometric center of the microlens and having a diameter between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm, preferably equal to 2.0 mm.

The periphery of the microlens can be defined by an annular area centered on the geometric center of the microlens and having an inner diameter between 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm and an outer diameter between 0.70 mm and 0.80 mm.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one multifocal refractive microlens has a toric surface. A toric surface is a rotating surface, which can be produced by rotating a circle or arc about an axis of rotation (finally positioned at infinity), which axis of rotation does not pass through its center of curvature.

Toric lenses have two different radial profiles at right angles to each other, thus producing two different powers.

The toric and spherical components of toric lenses produce astigmatic light beams instead of a single point of focus.

For example, a toric refractive microlens with a spherical power value greater than or equal to 0 diopters (δ) and less than or equal to +5 diopters (δ) and a cylindrical power value greater than or equal to 0.25 diopters (δ).

As a specific embodiment, the toric refractive microlens may be a pure cylindrical lens, meaning that the minimum power of the meridian is zero, and the maximum power of the meridian is strictly positive, for example, less than 5 diopters.

In other words, the optical element is made of a material having a refractive index that depends on the polarization and propagation direction of light. Birefringence can be quantified as the largest difference between the refractive indices exhibited by the material.

According to an embodiment of the invention, at least one, for example all of the optical elements have a discontinuity, such as a discontinuous surface, such as a Fresnel surface and/or have a discontinuous refractive index profile.

Fig. 3 shows an example of the Fresnel mirror height profile that can be used for the optical element of the present invention.

The diffractive lens may be a Fresnel lens whose phase function ψ(r) has a π phase jump at the nominal wavelength, as seen in FIG. 5. For the sake of clarity, these structures can be named "π-Fresnel lenses" because they are the opposite of single-focus Fresnel lenses with multiple values of phase transition 2π. The π-Fresnel lens whose phase function is shown in FIG. 5 mainly diffracts light in two diffraction orders related to a refractive power of 0δ and a positive refractive power P, for example, 3δ.

According to an embodiment of the invention, at least one, for example, all optical elements are multifocal binary components.
