Abstract

Apparatus and methods are described including a progressive lens that is configured to provide a far-vision correction and a near-vision correction. The progressive lens includes a single-focus, far-vision corrective lens that is configured to provide only a portion of the far-vision correction, and a film coupled to the single-focus, far-vision corrective lens. The film defines a far-vision corrective portion that is configured to provide the remainder of the far-vision correction, a near-vision corrective portion that is configured to provide additive near-vision correction, and an intermediate portion in which the film transitions between the far-vision corrective portion and the near-vision corrective portion. Other applications are also described.
