Multi-focal diffractive ophthalmic lenses

A multifocal ophthalmic lens has optical power, at least a portion of the optical power being produced by diffraction. The lens has a plurality of diffractive zones including a circular central zone and a plurality of concentric annular zones. The central zone has a radius r0 and the first annular z...

Summary:A multifocal ophthalmic lens has optical power, at least a portion of the optical power being produced by diffraction. The lens has a plurality of diffractive zones including a circular central zone and a plurality of concentric annular zones. The central zone has a radius r0 and the first annular zone has a radius r1 where r1 - r0 is not equal to r0 .
