  • Publication number: 20220197058
    Abstract: Eyeglass lenses useful for suppressing the progression of myopia are described. The eyeglass lenses may realize improved vision through myopia refractive correction viewability and suppression of the progression of myopia at the same time. In some examples, the eyeglass lens includes a first region for viewing a comparatively far distance disposed at an upper side of a lens, a second region disposed lower than the first region and having more positive refractive power than the first region, and a progressive zone region in which refractive power progressively changes provided between the first region and the second region. The eyeglass lens may have a progressive power surface with an addition gradient set so that addition power is gradually added from the first region to the second region on a back surface of the lens.
