Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Contact lenses incorporate high plus or add power profiles that at least one of slow, retard or preventing myopia progression and minimize halo effect. The lens includes a center zone with a negative power for myopic vision correction; and at least one treatment zone surrounding the center zone, the at least one treatment zone having a power profile that increases from an outer margin of the center zone to a positive power within the at least one treatment zone of greater than +5.00 D.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for at least one of slowing, retarding or preventing myopia progression of an eye by: providing an ophthalmic lens having a center zone with a negative power for myopic vision correction and at least one treatment zone surrounding the center zone, said at least one treatment zone having a power profile that increases continuously and smoothly from an outer margin of the center zone, corresponding to a radius of 2 mm, to a positive power within the at least one treatment zone of greater than +5.00 D at a distance of between 3.0 mm and 4.5 mm from a center of the ophthalmic lens and then remains constant to a margin of an optic zone; thereby altering growth of the eye. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a halo effect at a black/white edge is minimized. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ophthalmic lens is configured as a contact lens. 4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising adding one or more stabilization mechanisms to the lens.
