Abstract: A ring focus spectacle lens (1) for controlling the progression of myopia, and a manufacturing method therefor. The ring focus spectacle lens (1) can provide clear vision for a patient, and also has a plurality of ring-shaped defocusing zones to provide an optical defocusing effect. Since there is no joint between successive concentric rings of different optical powers that are tangent to each other, the ring focus spectacle lens (1) is as aesthetic as a common spectacle lens. In the manufacturing method, three front mold cores (71), a rear mold core (72), and a planar rear mold core are used to manufacture a series of ring focus spectacle lenses (1) having different powers, thereby reducing the number of mold cores and the production cost.

Abstract: A reclamation fill stabilizing composition for accelerated soil stabilization of high water-content waste soils/marine mud. The fill stabilizing composition includes a hydrolysis polymerization agent for chemically reacting with water in waste soil/marine mud. A gelling geopolymerization agent chemically and physically locks the water in its formed 3-D aluminosilicate microstructure. A sol-gel immobilization agent chemically and physically traps the water by reacting and bonding with the water. A nano-modification agent provides additional crystal nuclei to increase the effects of hydrolysis polymerization, gelling geopolymerization, and sol-gel immobilization. The reclamation fill stabilizing composition is mixed with high water-content waste soil such as marine mud. The marine mud is rapidly transformed into a compactable fill material within a stabilization curing period as short as 3 hours. Following stabilization, the treated marine mud is compacted (e.g.
