Abstract

A spectacle lens design includes a first zone which has a focal power that provides a focused image on the fovea and a given a height and width. A second zone at least partly surrounds the first zone and contains at least one of the following: (i) focusing structures providing a focal power resulting in a myopic defocus or (ii) diffusing structures, such as scattering centers, leading to a diffusion of light passing the second zone. The first zone is curved to follow the converging line of sight of the wearer upon reading and contains a nasal segment, a temporal segment, and a central segment located between the nasal segment and the temporal segment The nasal segment and the temporal segment are shifted downwards with respect to the central segment.
