• the present disclosure relates to translating bifocal, trifocal, or multifocal contact lenses that work when the cornea is spherical or toric.
• the contact lenses disclosed herein have an advantage over base-down prism, peri-ballasting, and Dynamic Stabilization in that it uses the interaction between the lenticular aspect described below and the upper eyelid tarsal plate to stabilize the contact lens and may also use the interaction between the base of the prism and the lower eyelid. Interactions between the lens and one or both eyelids provides better stabilization in the lens design disclosed herein.
• This same contact lens design will also allow for the contact lens to have a translational movement when the patient looks from straight ahead gaze into downgaze. Instead of pushing the base of the prism in the contact lens upwards with the lower eyelid, as much of the prior art attempts to do, this design pulls the contact lens upwards with the superior lenticular aspect. This is because the lenticular aspect allows the contact lens to use a "lid-attached" fit, wherein the lens stays with the upper lid as the patient looks downwards.
