Light scattering lens for treating myopia and eyeglasses containing the same

An ophthalmic lens includes a lens material having two curved surfaces opposing each other; a light scattering region; a first aperture (e.g., clear or with reduced scattering density/power compared to the light scattering region) surrounded by the light scattering region; and a second aperture (e.g...

Summary:An ophthalmic lens includes a lens material having two curved surfaces opposing each other; a light scattering region; a first aperture (e.g., clear or with reduced scattering density/power compared to the light scattering region) surrounded by the light scattering region; and a second aperture (e.g., clear or with reduced scattering density/power compared to the light scattering region) separated from the first clear aperture by a portion of the light scattering region. The light scattering region comprises optical structures sized and arranged to reduce contrast of an image viewed through the light scattering region compared with the first and second aperture. The disclosed embodiment reduces myopia-related issues without significantly impacting a user's vision.
