  • Patent number: 11397335
    Abstract: A spectacle lens can inhibit ametropia of the eyes and ensure full visibility. The spectacle lens comprises: first refraction areas and second refraction areas. Each first refraction area has a first refraction force that may be based on a prescription for correcting the ametropia of the eyes. Each second refraction area has a refraction force different from the first refraction force and may function to focus images on the positions except the retina of the eyes, to inhibit the development of the ametropia. Near the central part of the lens, the second refraction areas form a plurality of independent island-shaped areas, and the first refraction areas form the areas beyond the areas of the second refraction areas.

  • Patent number: 11391968
    Abstract: A spectacle lens including a prism prescription that has an eyeball-side optical surface. When one side is the same side as a prism base direction (nose side) and the other side is an opposite side of the prism base direction with a direction orthogonal to the prism base direction passing through a prism measurement reference point as a boundary, a minimum value of a curvature of the eyeball-side optical surface is on the same side as the prism base direction (nose side). Since a mean curvature becomes smaller in the prism base direction than a mean curvature of the prism measurement reference point and becomes larger in the opposite direction than the mean curvature of the prism measurement reference point across the prism measurement reference point, deviation in line of sight between right and left eyes is resolved.
