Abstract: The invention relates to a method for making an ophthalmic lens intended to correct the visual acuity of a user, comprising the steps of determining the shape of a base optical corrective element, determining the profile of a phase element structure, said determination comprising the steps of defining a desired depth of focus of said ophthalmic lens; calculating the phase distribution to be created at the entrance pupil of the lens, selecting a phase distribution and performing an iterative calculation to obtain the depth of focus, finding the phase which minimizes the differences between the effective phase distribution and the desired phase distribution and of converting the phase data into geometrical data to define the profile of the phase distribution structure and juxtaposing the resulting phase element structure and the base optical corrective element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the configuration of an ophthalmic lens intended to correct the visual acuity of a user, this method comprising the steps of determining the form of a base optical corrective element according to at least one of the following parameters: the desired power of the ophthalmic lens; the desired resolution or modulation transfer function MTF; the desired extent of the correction of the spherical aberrations (SA) of said ophthalmic lens; the desired extent of the correction of the spherical aberrations (SA) of the cornea of the user; the desired extent of the correction of the chromatic aberrations of said ophthalmic lens; the desired extent of the correction of the chromatic aberrations of the cornea of the user; the desired extent of the correction of high order aberrations (HOA).
