Patent number: 8985764Abstract: Provided is a contact lens of double thin type ensuring a comfortable wearing sensation, enabling improvement of oxygen permeability and tear exchange, and having a novel structure. An optical zone having no deviation of a center of gravity by a prism is formed. A pair of thin portions extending circumferentially and having a constant thickness are formed on both upper and lower sides of a peripheral zone, and a pair of thick portions extending circumferentially and having a thickness larger than that of the thin portions are formed on both left and right sides.
