Abstract

A laminated multifocal prescription ophthalmic lens is provided comprising a plano (zero power) cap element incorporating a convergent near-vision multifocal segment, the cap being cemented to a prescription-ground single vision base element. The back surface curvature of the base is configured to provide prescribed sphere, cylinder and other vision-corrective refraction characteristics to the laminated lens.
