Patent Issued for Ophthalmic lens including a peripheral zone having an add-power offset and a spatially-modulated optical parameter (USPTO 12019311).

A patent has been issued to Bausch & Lomb Ireland Limited for an ophthalmic lens designed to address myopia, a condition that causes blurred vision when objects at a distance are focused in front of the retina. The lens includes a peripheral zone with an add-power offset and a spatially-modulated optical parameter, which aims to suppress the progression of myopia. The invention seeks to provide efficacy in reducing myopia progression while minimizing visual disturbances such as glare and halos. The lens is designed to be larger than the wearer's pupil diameter and may have a central zone diameter of at least 3 mm. [Extracted from the article]
