  • Publication number: 20240393616
    Abstract: A contact lens includes a first optical region, a second optical region, and a transition region. The first optical region is shaped to form a first power profile. The second optical region is shaped to form a second power profile. The transition region is joined between the first optical region and the second optical region and is shaped to form a third power profile with a power variation radially changing from the first power profile to the second power profile as a radius increasing. The transition region includes a first subzone, a second subzone and a third subzone. Each of the first subzone and the third subzone has a gradual power variation measured from a lens center to a lens edge as compared to the second subzone, and the second subzone has a steep power variation measured from the lens center to the lens edge.
