Abstract

A spectacle lens can inhibit ametropia of the eyes and ensure full visibility. The spectacle lens comprises: first refraction areas and second refraction areas. Each first refraction area has a first refraction force that may be based on a prescription for correcting the ametropia of the eyes. Each second refraction area has a refraction force different from the first refraction force and may function to focus images on the positions except the retina of the eyes, to inhibit the development of the ametropia. Near the central part of the lens, the second refraction areas form a plurality of independent island-shaped areas, and the first refraction areas form the areas beyond the areas of the second refraction areas.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A spectacle lens comprising:
a first refraction area having a first refractive power based on a prescription for correcting myopia; and
second refraction areas having a refractive power different from the first refractive power,
wherein each of the second refraction areas is formed into a convex shape that extends from an object side surface of the spectacle lens and has a larger curvature than a curvature of an object side surface of the first refraction area so as to suppress a progress of myopia, and the first refraction area is formed as the area other than the areas formed as the second refraction areas.

2. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the second refraction areas comprise a plurality of refraction areas respectively having a plurality of refractive powers different from each other.

3. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the area of each second refraction area is 0.50 to 3.14 mm 2 .

4. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the second refraction areas are formed in a circular area having a radius of 20 mm, with an optical center of the spectacle lens as a center of the circular area.

5. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of total area of the second refraction areas, with respect to the total areas of the second refraction areas and the first refraction area, is 20 to 60% in an area formed by a mixture of the second refraction areas and the first refraction area.

6. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the second refraction areas are formed into circular shapes.

7. The spectacle lens according to claim 6 , wherein a diameter of each circular-shaped circle is 0.8 to 2.0 mm.

8. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the refractive power of the second refraction areas is differentiated from the refractive power of the first refraction area by differentiating surface shapes of the second refraction areas from a surface shape of the first refraction area.

9. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein the area of each second refraction area is 0.50 to 3.14 mm 2 .

10. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein the second refraction areas are formed in a circular area having a radius of 20 mm, with an optical center of the spectacle lens as a center of the circular area.

11. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein a ratio of total area of the second refraction areas, with respect to the total areas of the second refraction areas and the first refraction area, is 20 to 60% in an area formed by a mixture of the second refraction areas and the first refraction area.

12. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein the second refraction areas are formed into circular shapes.

13. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein the refractive power of the second refraction areas is differentiated from the refractive power of the first refraction area by differentiating surface shapes of the second refraction areas from a surface shape of the first refraction area.

14. A spectacle lens comprising:
a first refraction area having a first refractive power based on a prescription for correcting myopia; and
second refraction areas having a refractive power different from the first refractive power,
wherein the second refraction areas are non-concentrically formed as a plurality of island- shaped areas, the refractive power of the second refraction areas is larger than the first refractive power of the first refraction area by 2.00 D to 5.00 D so as to suppress a progress of myopia, and the first refraction area is formed as the area other than the areas formed as the second refraction areas.

15. A spectacle lens comprising:
a first refraction area having a first refractive power based on a prescription for correcting an abnormal refraction of an eye; and
second refraction areas having a refractive power different from the first refractive power so as to suppress a progress of the abnormal refraction of the eye,
wherein the second refraction areas are non-concentrically formed as a plurality of island- shaped areas, the second refraction areas are arranged to form a hexagon inscribed in a circle having a predetermined radius, and the first refraction area is formed as the area other than the areas formed as the second refraction areas.

16. The spectacle lens according to claim 1 , wherein the second refraction areas are non-concentrically formed as a plurality of island-shaped areas.

17. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein the second refraction areas are arranged to form a hexagon inscribed in a circle having a predetermined radius.

18. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein for each of the second refraction areas, a distance to a closest of the other second refraction areas is at least seventy-five percent, and less than one hundred percent, of a radius of the second refraction area.

19. The spectacle lens according to claim 2 , wherein the refractive power of the second refraction areas is larger than the first refractive power of the first refraction area by 2.00 D to 5.00 D so as to suppress a progress of myopia.
