Contact lenses with color filtering zone

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to contact lenses configured to prevent or slow development of myopia. In some embodiments, a contact lens for slowing the progression of myopia includes a circular first zone extending from an optical center of the contact lens to a first boundary. The first zone has a first visible light transmission profile. The contact lens includes an annular second zone abutting the first zone at the first boundary. The annular second zone at least partially surrounds the first zone and extends from the first boundary to a second boundary. The second zone has the same dioptric power as a dioptric power of the first zone. The second zone has a second visible light transmission profile that is different than the first transmission profile and is a blue light transmission profile.
