Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a progressive multi-focal lens which can effectively reduce peripheral astigmatism and belongs to the technical field of optical design. Background Art

[0002] Traditional single-focal glasses cannot take into account far, near and medium-distance vision at the same time due to their fixed optical focal length; although bifocal glasses solve the patient's needs for far and near vision, they are not clear for medium-distance vision, and there is a dividing line in the middle of the lens, which affects the appearance and field of vision; although trifocal glasses can take into account near, medium and long-distance vision, the transition between each zone is abrupt, and there is still the problem of uncomfortable wearing.

[0003] Progressive multifocal spectacle lenses are spectacle lenses whose surface focal power continuously changes due to the continuous change of surface curvature. Chinese invention patent CN113253482A provides a multifocal spectacle lens with a two-stage meridian design. Although it can flexibly obtain meridian focal power change curves of different shapes to obtain progressive multifocal lenses that meet user requirements, the peripheral astigmatism of the designed lens is greater than one plus diopter, which affects the visual imaging effect. The document "Multi-axis progressive zoom glasses design" (Optical Technology, 2015, 41(04): 355-359) proposes a multi-axis progressive multifocal lens design method, which selects the actual pupil used by the human eye as the small pupil within the aperture of the glasses to design a meta-lens corresponding to the small pupil; on the meridian plane, the focal power between the far vision point and the near vision point of the lens needs to be determined by an 8th-order polynomial; in the pupil plane, the focal power of the pupils including the far vision area and the near vision area adjacent to the far vision area are respectively distributed in a hyperbolic type and a parabolic type. Although this design method can make the surface optical power of the lens close to the preset optical power, the peripheral astigmatism of the lens is large. When the addition power is 0.75D, the maximum peripheral astigmatism of the lens is close to 3.50D, which exceeds the limit that the human eye can withstand. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model aims at the deficiencies of the prior art and provides a progressive multifocal lens which can more effectively reduce peripheral astigmatism while ensuring that the optical power of the lens is close to the preset optical power and control the astigmatism within 75% of the addition power.

[0009] 0 < α(x, y) < 1, 0 < β(x, y) < 1;

[0010] P d (x, y) is the preset optical power of the distant vision area; P n (x, y) is the preset optical power of the near vision area;

[0011] k is the curvature adjustment factor, and its value range is 1 < k < 2; m is the translation factor, and its value range is -3 < m < 0;

[0012] n is the refractive index of the lens;

[0013] A(x, y) is the distance from any point on the front surface of the lens to the center point of the front surface of the lens;

[0014] k1(x, y) and k2(x, y) are respectively the maximum and minimum principal curvatures corresponding to each point on the front surface of the lens, and k1(x, y), k2(x, y) satisfy the conditions:

[0015] H(x, y) = (k1(x, y) + k2(x, y)) / 2,

[0016] K(x, y) = k1(x, y) * k2(x, y)),

[0017] H(x, y) and K(x, y) are respectively the mean curvature and Gaussian curvature of the front surface of the lens, and the expressions are:

[0018]

[0019] where, z(x, y) x and z(x, y) y are the first-order partial derivatives of the surface sag z(x, y) of any point on the front surface of the lens in the x-direction and y-direction respectively; z(x, y) xx and z(x, y) yy are the second-order partial derivatives of the surface sag z(x, y) of any point on the front surface of the lens in the x-direction and y-direction respectively; z(x, y) xy is the second-order partial derivative of the surface sag z(x, y) of any point on the front surface of the lens first in the x-direction and then in the y-direction.

[0020] The utility model provides a progressive multi-focal lens which can effectively reduce peripheral astigmatism, wherein the astigmatism in the peripheral astigmatism zone is less than or equal to 75% of the addition power.

[0021] In the present invention, the coordinate system is a Cartesian space rectangular coordinate system constructed with the center point of the front surface of the lens as the origin O, the positive direction of the x-axis is horizontally to the right along the sagittal direction of the front surface of the lens, the positive direction of the y-axis is vertically upward along the meridian direction of the front surface of the lens, the z-axis is perpendicular to the xoy plane, and satisfies the right-hand rule with the x-axis and the y-axis.
