Abstract: Lenses are tinted for control of myopia development. These myopia control tints can be provided in contact lenses, eyeglass lenses, goggles, or other viewing optics. In some cases, dual zone lenses include a clear vision portion and a defocus portion in combination with the myopia control tints. While users can find that lenses with a defocus zone provoke a feeling of blurred vision, the myopia control tints can address the perceived defocus and provide superior user comfort.

Abstract: Contact lenses are provided with tints that enhance performance and are shaped to permit wearing by individuals who are unfamiliar with contact lens handlings. With suitable contact lens shapes, applying and removing the contact lenses is simple, and providing tints on a contact lens permits using more transmissive tints than would be needed for spectacles or goggles. In addition, using tinted contact lenses avoids some of the physical limitations and problems associated with spectacles and goggles.
