Abstract

A contact lens includes at least two focal lengths, a single lower bearing surface capable of allowing the lens to be translated relative to an eye, and an area placed in the lower portion of the lens, the area having an outer face connected to a remainder of the outer face of the lens via a recess and the area having an inner face indistinguishable from the rest of an inner face of the lens, where the recess defines the lower bearing surface, and where the area is thin with an average thickness of the same order of magnitude as a thickness of an upper edge of said lens.
