Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to means for treating axial eye diseases, such as myopia. The present invention includes apparatus and methods for prescribing, selecting, supplying, and fitting a pair of myopia management glasses or a set, inventory, or kit of glasses attached to the front of the glasses, wherein the apparatus and method are configured to provide at least one locally blurred cone-like sensor, such as an optical directional cue, to slow, improve, control, inhibit, or reduce the rate of myopia progression over time, wherein the method is a prescribed care regimen that provides temporal and spatial variation in the directional cue or optical stop signal.

[0004] The present invention also includes an apparatus and method for prescribing, selecting, supplying, and fitting a package, inventory, or kit of prescribing, non-permanent supplemental optical films or components for use with standard single-vision spectacles for correction of an individual's refractive error, wherein the apparatus and method are configured to provide at least one cone of partial blur as a directional cue to slow, improve, control, inhibit, or reduce the rate of progression of myopia over time, wherein the method is a prescribed regimen that provides temporal and spatial variation of the directional cue or optical stop signal. Background Art

[0005] The human eye is farsighted at birth, with the eyeball being too short for the total refractive power of the eye. As a person ages from childhood to adulthood, the eyeball continues to grow until the refractive state of the eye stabilizes.

[0006] Eye growth is controlled by a feedback mechanism and is primarily regulated by visual experience of the environment, so that the eye's visual acuity matches the length of the eye and maintains homeostasis. This process is called emmetropization.

[0007] The signals that guide emmetropia are initiated by modulating the light energy received at the retina. Retinal image characteristics are monitored by a biological process that modulates the signals to start or stop, accelerate or slow eye growth. This process coordinates between the optics and the length of the eyeball to achieve or maintain emmetropia. Derailment of emmetropia can lead to refractive errors such as myopia. One hypothesis suggests that increased retinal activity inhibits eye growth, and vice versa.

[0008] The incidence of myopia is increasing at an alarming rate in many parts of the world, particularly in East Asia. In myopic individuals, the axial length of the eye does not match the overall brightness of the eye, causing distant objects to focus in front of the retina.

[0009] A simple pair of negative single-vision lenses can correct myopia. While such devices can optically correct the refractive error associated with eye length, they do not address the underlying cause of excessive eye growth in the development of myopia.

[0010] Excessive axial length growth in highly myopic eyes is associated with serious vision-threatening conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and myopic maculopathy, all of which are associated with retinal detachment. Therefore, there remains a need for an individually tailored optical device that not only corrects the underlying refractive error but also substantially prevents excessive axial length elongation over time.

[0011] To date, numerous spectacle lens designs have been proposed to control the rate of myopia progression. Existing technologies include the use of executive, D-shaped, and concentric bifocals, symmetrical and asymmetrical progressive addition lenses, lenses with simultaneous defocus zones, and peripheral additions with positive spherical aberration. In other words, all designs have a certain degree of positive addition power related to the lens prescription, distributed either rotationally symmetrically or asymmetrically about the optical axis of the spectacle.

[0012] Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages in terms of delaying the rate at which myopia develops in an individual. This article describes some of the weaknesses.

[0013] For example, various types of bifocal lenses or peripheral brightness lens glasses designs currently have significant visual disturbances such as rocking effect, image jumping, residual aberration, peripheral distortion, etc. at various viewing angles, thereby impairing visual quality.

[0014] These side effects are primarily due to the presence of multiple out-of-focus areas or segments, or the use of a large amount of positive spherical aberration in the lens, or the significant degree of abrupt changes in power within a given area of ​​the spectacle lens. Considering the impact of the compliance of spectacle lenses on the efficacy of such lenses, a significant reduction in visual performance promotes poor compliance and, therefore, poor efficacy of such lenses.

[0015] Therefore, there is a need for an eyeglass design that corrects myopia and slows progression without incurring at least one or more of the disadvantages discussed herein.

[0016] Additionally, some existing technologies may not be aesthetically appealing to children, adolescents, and young adults, such as the dividing lines of D-shaped bifocals, executive bifocals, etc. As discussed herein, other solutions will become apparent.

[0017] Therefore, previously disclosed methods for addressing myopia progression still fall short in terms of providing effective myopia prevention and control while also effectively meeting the needs of daily life and work. Therefore, a system involving a kit and a method for prescribing the kit to address the above issues is highly anticipated.

[0018] One of the drawbacks of previous myopia management eyewear technologies is the high cost associated with them, which creates a high barrier to entry for individuals who require such solutions. Therefore, there is a need for a device and / or method that provides a cost-friendly solution to myopia problems and improves access to solutions for those in need.

The desired brightness distribution variation in the optical film can be configured by varying the thickness distribution of the optical film.

[0072] In some examples, the one or more specific regions of the retina for introducing cone-induced local blur can be located in the nasal, temporal, superior, and / or inferior regions of the retina. In some other examples, other retinal locations can be identified. In some other embodiments, the one or more specific regions of the retina for introducing cone-induced local blur can be located in the subfoveal, parafoveal, macula, and / or paramacular regions of the retina.

In other examples, these differences can be selected so that at any given angle, at least one eye maintains adequate visual performance compared to a standard single-vision lens.

[0074] In some embodiments, the contemplated optical film or sheet may cover the entirety of a standard single vision eyeglass lens; while in other embodiments, the optical film embodiments may be configured only in specific areas of the eyeglass lens.

In some other examples, the prescribed method may include the use of an optical film or sheet that begins to degrade after a certain wear time or period of time to aid compliance with the care regimen.

[0075] The present invention is directed to a kit or set comprising a plurality of attachable, non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assemblies, each of which is to be used in conjunction with a standard single vision spectacle lens prescribed for the eyewear, to correct myopia in a wearer, providing a prescribed duration and / or method of use; wherein each micro-optical assembly is substantially configured with one or more meridional and azimuthal brightness distributions, wherein at least one of the meridional and azimuthal brightness distributions lacks mirror symmetry, and wherein when at least one micro-optical assembly is used in conjunction with the standard single vision spectacle lens, at least partially results in foveal correction of the myopic eye and at least partially results in regional cone induction of localized blur or optical stop signals within a desired location on the retina of the wearer's eye; wherein the prescribed period and prescribed method provide temporally and spatially varying optical stop signals to control the rate of ocular growth of the wearer's myopia; thereby, the efficacy of the myopia treatment remains substantially consistent over time.

[0077] In some other examples, a prescription method providing a method of use may include identifying certain specific locations on an eyeglass lens and marking those locations with micro-embossing or micro-engraving within a standard single-vision lens matrix to allow the user to periodically change the location of a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component placed on the eyeglass lens as specified in a care regimen.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the eyeglass inserts in the above kits to be used with standard single vision eyeglass lenses can be screwed onto, hooked onto, or adhered to standard single vision eyeglass frames using a magnetic device.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, individual adherent non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assemblies configured with desired meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distributions can be configured using transparent, flexible, thin, and comfortable materials and can be used as standard single-vision lens patches for correcting refractive errors, such as myopia with or without astigmatism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0121] The effectiveness of this spectacle design was established through randomized controlled clinical trials. These trials included spectacle designs ranging in duration from 6 months to 3 years, with reported effectiveness ranging from 10% to 50% when compared with a single vision control group.

[0122] A simple linear orthopticization model predicts that the amplitude of the stop signal accumulates over time. In other words, the accumulated stop signal depends on the total amplitude of the exposure rather than on its temporal distribution.

[0123] Observations across all clinical trials have shown that there is an initial burst of treatment effect observed in the first 6 to 12 months, after which the progression of the effect almost always slows and appears to fade over time. Therefore, a more faithful emmetropization model that aligns with clinical findings suggests that there may be a delay before the stop signal is established, followed by saturation over time and a possible decay in the effectiveness of the stop signal.

[0124] There is a need in the art for a spectacle lens that avoids or minimizes this saturation effect by providing a temporally and spatially varying stop signal to delay the rate of myopia progression, for example, within a prescribed timeframe under a prescription care regimen, and that can be switched in a variety of ways, such as directly from a kit or set, or used in conjunction with a standard monocular lens, a replaceable myopia management spectacle insert, or a non-permanent supplemental optical film, sheet, or micro-optic assembly. In addition to the spectacle lens pairs from a kit or set prescribed under a care regimen, the present invention also describes the use of supplemental spectacle inserts, and / or non-permanent optical films, and micro-optic assembly kits or sets for use with standard spectacles as prescribed under the care regimen.

[0125] Therefore, there is a need for an optical intervention that has a mechanism to achieve substantially greater and / or substantially consistent efficacy over time in reducing and / or slowing myopia progression without significantly compromising visual performance. In one or more examples, substantially consistent efficacy over time can be considered to be at least 6, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 60 months.

[0126] In this section, the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to one or more embodiments, some of which are illustrated and supported by the accompanying drawings. Examples and embodiments are provided by way of explanation and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. The following description is provided with respect to several embodiments that may share common features and characteristics of the present disclosure. It should be understood that one or more features of an embodiment may be combined with one or more features of any other embodiment that may constitute additional embodiments. The functional and structural information disclosed herein should not be interpreted as limiting in any way, but should only be interpreted as a representative basis for teaching those skilled in the art to adopt the disclosed embodiments and variations of those embodiments in various ways. The subtitles and related subject headings used in the detailed description are included only for the convenience of the reader's reference and should in no way be used to limit the subject matter found throughout the claims of the present invention or the present disclosure. Subtitles and related subject headings should not be used when interpreting the claims or the scope of the claims.

[0127] The risk of developing myopia or progressive myopia may be based on one or more of the following factors: genetics, ethnicity, lifestyle, environment, excessive near work, etc. Certain embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to persons at risk of developing myopia or progressive myopia.

[0128] One or more of the following advantages are found in the disclosed one or more optical devices and / or myopia management kit methods: A set of myopia management spectacle lenses, or spectacle inserts, non-permanent auxiliary optical films, sheets, or micro-optical components for use with standard single-vision glasses, that can cause the wearer's eye to produce at least a partially obscured cone-sensing signal, providing a stopping signal to delay eye growth or stop the rate of eye growth (or refractive error state).

[0129] A set of myopia management spectacle lenses, spectacle inserts when used in conjunction with standard monocular spectacle lenses, non-permanent auxiliary optical films, sheets, or micro-optical assemblies, and combined methods can provide a temporally and spatially varying stop signal to increase the effectiveness of treating progressive myopia. The present invention contemplates devices and / or methods that are not based on positive spherical aberration or simultaneous defocus, as these can lead to saturation of effectiveness due to the rotational symmetry of the optical stop signal.

[0130] Figure 1 An uncorrected 3D myopic model eye (100) is shown. When incident light (101) of a visible wavelength (e.g., 589 nm) with an incident angle of 0D is incident on the uncorrected myopic eye, the composite image on the retina will produce symmetrical blur (102) due to defocus. This schematic diagram represents an on-axis geometric point analysis on the retinal plane.

[0131] Figure 2 The correction of eye strain using one of the embodiment of a set of spectacle lenses previously disclosed in the related application PCT / AU2020 / 051005 (202) is shown. Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an on-axis geometric point analysis on the retinal plane for a 3D myopic model eye (200). In this example, when incident light (201) of a visible light wavelength (e.g., 589 nm) with an incident angle of 0D is incident on the corrected myopic eye, the transfocus image produced on the retina forms a cone or a Sturm interval with a minimum circle of confusion between 203a and 203b and an elliptical blur pattern with sagittal and tangential planes (203a and 203b). Using the eyeglass lens set disclosed in PCT / AU2020 / 051005, a temporally and spatially varying astigmatism cue (i.e., a stop signal) can be provided on the retina of the eyes (203a and 203b, 203i and 203j, 203l and 203m, 203x and 203x, 203y) can be provided.

[0132] Figure 3Shown is a correction method (302) for use with one of the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a geometric point analysis of an axis through a focus on a retinal plane for a 3D myopic model eye (300). In this example, incident light (301) of a visible light wavelength (e.g., 589 nm) with an incident angle of 0D is incident on a corrected myopic eye (300), and the resulting full-focus image on the retina forms a localized blur or blur interval with an irregular blur pattern of sagittal and tangential planes (303a and 303b). A myopia management kit using spectacle lenses as disclosed herein provides an optical stop signal that varies in space and time, with at least one locally blurred cone surface (303a and 303b, 303i and 303j, 303l and 303m, and 303x and 303y) on the retina of the eye.

[0133] The improvement in the current disclosure over the related PCT / AU2020 / 051005 is twofold. (i) While the regular complex or astigmatic brightness distributions considered in PCT / AU2020 / 051005 result in the desired spatial and temporal variation in optical performance, this may require a greater sacrifice in visual quality for some people. To address this limitation, the present disclosure considers azimuthally and meridianally varying brightness distributions, which provide more balanced optical performance while maintaining the desired spatial and temporal variation. (ii) The light signal resulting from the use of the embodiments disclosed in PCT / AU2020 / 051005 is confined to the nasal cones only, i.e. producing respective sagittal and tangential elliptical blur patterns on the retina. In contrast, the present disclosure provides multiple cones of partially blurred patterns on the retina due to the many permutations and combinations of azimuthally and meridianally varying brightness distributions. This in turn creates a local blurring comprising many different irregular patterns of partial spatial features that result in greater variability in the spatial and temporal optical stop signal, which may be more desirable in certain individuals.

[0134] Certain exemplary embodiments relate to a method for modifying incident light through an eyeglass lens system that provides a standard prescription for correcting myopia and at least one cone of local blur (i.e., stop signal) at the retina of the eye. The cone of partial blur can be obtained by using one or more meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distributions, wherein at least one of the meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distributions lacks mirror symmetry. In short, by introducing at least one cone of local blur (i.e., stop signal) at the level of the retina, a meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distribution can be used to reduce the rate of myopia progression. In certain embodiments, the use of at least one cone of local blur obtained by a myopia management kit can be configured to provide a stop signal that varies in time and space.

[0135] For illustration purposes, Figures 1 to 3 Schematic model eyes were selected in (Table 1). However, in other exemplary embodiments, schematic ray tracing model eyes such as Liou-Brennan, Escudero-Navarro and other forms may be used instead of the above models. The simple model eye can also change the parameters of the cornea, lens, retina, media in the eye or a combination thereof to assist in further simulation of the embodiments disclosed herein. The examples provided herein use a -3D myopic model eye to disclose the present invention, however, the same disclosure can be extended to other myopia degrees, such as -1D, -2D, -5D or -6D. It should further be understood that the scope of the present invention can be extended to eyes with varying degrees of myopic refractive errors, with or without astigmatism.

[0136] In the example embodiments, reference is made to a specific wavelength of 589 nm, but it should be understood that one skilled in the art could extend the range to other visible wavelengths between 420 nm and 760 nm. The specific structural and functional details disclosed in these figures and examples should not be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a representative basis to teach one skilled in the art to apply the disclosed embodiments in various variations.

[0137] Certain embodiments of the present disclosure provide a myopia management kit or set that can provide temporally and spatially variable signaling. Specifically, under a prescribed wearing regimen, the kit provides a stop signal for progressive myopia as the retinal position changes over time. This temporally and spatially variable stop signal can minimize the implicit saturation effect observed with existing technology.

[0138] In certain embodiments, when a myopia management spectacle lens or spectacle insert is used in combination with a standard single vision spectacle lens, portions of one or more meridional and azimuthal variable power brightness distributions, wherein at least one of the meridional and azimuthal variable power brightness distributions lacks mirror symmetry, at least partially provide foveal correction for a myopic eye and at least partially generate a stop signal that varies in time and space, for example, to produce at least one cone of localized blur in the central and / or peripheral regions of the retina, to reduce the rate of myopia progression when worn under a care regimen. In certain embodiments, the induced depth of the partially blurred (i.e., stop signal) cone of vision configured within a pair of myopia management lenses or lens fronts used in conjunction with a standard single vision lens in a kit or set can be at least +0.5DC, +0.75DC, +1DC, or +1.25DC. In certain embodiments, the induced depth of the partially blurred cone of vision configured within a pair of myopia management lenses or lens fronts used in conjunction with a standard single vision lens in a kit or set can be between +0.5DC and +1.75DC, +0.5DC and +2DC, or +0.5DC and +2.5DC.

[0139] Figure 4 A flow chart illustrating an exemplary method of prescribing the disclosed kit or set of myopia management spectacle lenses for reducing, inhibiting, or controlling the rate of myopia progression in an individual, according to examples of the present disclosure.

[0140] In this example, prescriptions for an individual's left and right eyes are identified by detecting the best objective or subjective refraction for each eye of the individual (401).

[0141] At least two pairs of myopia management glasses (402) having appropriate meridional and azimuthal varying brightness distributions are selected for the individual for use in conjunction with a base prescription.

[0142] At least two pairs of myopia management glasses are configured to at least partially provide foveal correction for the myopic eye and at least partially provide a partially blurred cone of light signal (403) at the retina of the myopic eye.

[0143] Additionally, a method of using at least two pairs of myopia management spectacle lenses used under the care regimen provides a spatially and temporally varying stop signal (404) to the eye.

[0144] In some examples, a suitable depth of partially obscured cone configured within a pair of myopia management lenses used in conjunction with a standard single vision lens in a set or device may be at least +0.5D, +0.75D, +1D, +1.25D, or +1.75D.

[0145] In some examples, an appropriate depth of partially blurred cone configured within a pair of myopia management lenses used in conjunction with a standard single vision lens in a kit or set may be between +0.5D and +1.75D, between +0.5D and +2D, or between +0.5D and +2.25D.

[0146] In some examples, a suitable difference in the axis orientation (i.e., the axis of the flattest semi-meridian) of each spectacle lens in a pair of myopia management spectacle lenses may be at least 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees, or 75 degrees.

[0147] In some examples, suitable differences in the axial orientations of individual spectacle lenses in a pair of myopia management spectacle lenses (i.e., the axes of the flattest semi-meridians) can be between 15 and 30 degrees, between 30 and 60 degrees, between 45 and 75 degrees, between 60 and 90 degrees, or between 15 and 90 degrees.

[0148] In order to demonstrate the effects of other embodiments, other schematic model eyes such as Atchison, Escudero-Navarro, Liou-Brennan, Polans, Goncharov-Dainty, etc. can be used instead of the above schematic model eyes.

[0149] It is also described that various parameters of the model eye can be changed; for example, the cornea, lens, retina, media, or a combination thereof, to help better simulate the effect. The schematic eye is used to simulate the optical performance results of the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0150] Table 1 lists the prescription parameters of the schematic model eye used for optical modeling and performance simulation.

[0151] This prescription provides a -3D myopia, which is defined as a monochromatic wavelength of 589 nm. The prescription described in Table 1 should not be interpreted as a mandatory method to demonstrate the effects of the intended exemplary embodiment. It is just one of many methods that a person skilled in the art can use for optical simulation purposes.

[0154] Figure 5 A brightness diagram distribution (500) within the optical zone of one of the toric or astigmatic spectacle lenses as previously disclosed in PCT / AU2020 / 051005 is shown, in which the brightness varies along an azimuth (501) and along a meridian (502). Figure 5 Also shown are the corresponding brightness curves versus the view zone diameter for four representative sample meridians 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° (503), and the corresponding brightness curves versus the azimuth angle for four representative sample radial positions R1, R2, R3 and R4 (504), whose radial distances are 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 mm, respectively.

[0155] The toric or astigmatic lens is configured with a standard spherical cylindrical brightness distribution function, with one principal meridian (the vertical meridian, 90°) having a brightness of approximately -3.00D, the other principal meridian (the horizontal meridian, 0°) having a brightness of approximately -1.25D, and the oblique meridians 45° and 135° having a brightness of approximately -2.12D. The difference between the two principal meridians is the cylindrical brightness, which is 1.75DC in this exemplary embodiment. The brightness distribution of the toric or astigmatic lens is symmetrical in that it has a radially and meridional invariant brightness distribution that follows a cosine function with normal frequency, which results in two mirror-symmetrical axes (i.e., two cosine rays) varying in azimuth (circulating over 360°). Figure 5 The term normal frequency can be observed or seen in standard toric or astigmatic glasses.

[0156] Figure 6 Two pairs of glasses (600 and 610) are shown, each pair of glasses comprising a glasses frame (603 and 613), a right eye lens (601 and 611) and a left eye lens (602 and 612) according to previous publication PCT / AU2020 / 051005, for reducing, inhibiting, suppressing or controlling the rate of myopia progression in an individual.

[0157] The astigmatic blur (i.e., stop signal) of each pair of glasses (601, 611, 602, 612) is combined with a -3DS base prescription for each eye. The prescriptions for the right (601) and left (611) lenses of the first pair (600) are -3DS / +1.25DC×0° and -3DS / +1.75DC×90°, respectively. The prescriptions for the right (602) and left (612) lenses of the second pair (610) are -3DS / +1.75DC×135° and -3DS / +1.25DC×45°, respectively. As previously disclosed in PCT / AU2020 / 051005, it is provided that the first pair of glasses (600) is used during a first period and the second pair of glasses (610) is used during a second period.

[0158] When the incident light of visible wavelength (e.g. 589nm) with an incident angle of 0D is incident on the Figure 6 When the myopia is corrected by two pairs of glasses 601 and 610 (Table 1), the time axis and spatiotemporal change point spread functions of the first and second pairs on the retinal plane are as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0159] When used according to the prescribed care regimen Figure 6 When the pair of myopia management spectacle lenses described in FIG. 1 are used, the two rows of point spread functions 700 and 710 represent the signal of the axially temporally varying light reaching the wearer's retina. It can be seen that the first pair of myopia management spectacle lenses 701 provides astigmatic blur in the vertical and horizontal meridians ( 701 and 702 ) of the wearer's retina. The second pair 710 provides astigmatic blur in the oblique meridians ( 711 and 712 ).

[0160] Figure 8 It is shown that under the prescribed care regimen, during the prescribed two (2) periods, the use of Figure 6, the temporal and spatial variations of the signal when incident light is incident on the right-3D myopic model eye corrected with the two (2) pairs of glasses are depicted as wide-angle through focus. The rows represent the optical performance at various field angles (-10 degrees, 0 degrees, and 10 degrees). The elliptical blur pattern 801 is the resulting speckle diagram when the right eye is corrected with the right lens 601 of the first pair of glasses 600, and the elliptical blur pattern 802 is the resulting speckle diagram when the right eye is corrected with the right lens 611 of the second pair of glasses 611. .

[0161] Figure 8 The full focus diagrams represent the time integral of the light signal obtained by integrating the resulting response when the right lenses of the two pairs of glasses are worn on a -3D myopic model eye. The time integral refers to combining the effects of the pair of glasses worn during a specified two (2) periods in a single dot plot representation through the focus.

[0162] Figure 9 It is shown that under the prescribed care regimen, during the prescribed two (2) periods, the use of Figure 6 , the temporal and spatial variations of the signal when the incident light is incident on the left-3D myopic model eye corrected with the two (2) pairs of glasses are depicted as wide-angle through-focus diagrams. The rows represent the optical performance at various field angles (-10 degrees, 0 degrees, and 10 degrees). The elliptical blur pattern 901 is the resulting spot diagram when the left eye is corrected with the left lens 602 of the first pair of glasses 600, and the elliptical blur pattern 902 is the resulting spot diagram when the left eye is corrected with the left lens 612 of the second pair of glasses 611.

[0163] Figure 9 The through-focus diagram represents the time integral of the light signal obtained by integrating the resulting response when the left lenses of the two pairs of glasses are worn on the -3D myopic model eye. The time integral refers to combining the effects of the pair of glasses worn during a specified two (2) periods in a through-focus dot diagram.

[0164] The through-focus geometric point analysis of the retinal plane was calculated using five positions, from -0.6 to +0.6 mm, with each jump of 0.3 mm; retinal positions -0.6 mm and -0.3 mm were in front of the retina; retinal position 0 mm was on the retina; and retinal positions +0.3 mm and +0.6 mm were behind the retina.

[0165] It can be seen that in this example, the right and left eyeglass lenses ( Figure 6 ) corrected the right and left myopia, resulting in different oval blur patterns of varying sizes and shapes of spectacle lenses ( Figure 8 and Figure 9), i.e., causing the stop signal to vary in space and time. This also leads to changes in visual performance between two glasses wearing cycles.

[0166] When incident light of visible wavelength (589 nm) at an incident angle of 0D is incident on the schematic model eye corrected with prescription-3DS (Table 1) using right eyeglasses (601 and 611), the retinal signals of the first and second pairs of glasses are described as Figure 10 Modulation transfer functions 1001 and 1002 of the tangential and sagittal meridian axes through the focus. The difference in focus shift (i.e., sturm cone depth) between the tangential and sagittal meridians for the two right lenses is approximately 0.4 mm and 0.65 mm, respectively. The size of the peaks at the preretinal and retinal levels is similar, i.e., approximately 0.77. Although Figure 6 While spectacle lenses described in the literature provide ideal temporally and spatially varying stimuli when worn on myopic eyes, the difference in visual performance when switching from one pair of spectacle lenses to another is determined by the focal length and the magnitude of the peaks in the tangential and sagittal meridians. The higher the peak or peaks in front of the retina and the greater the focus shift, the worse the spectacle lens performance.

[0167] It is desirable to minimize significant variations in performance between different eyeglass pairs in a myopia management kit. It is apparent that various embodiments disclosed herein can address this problem, namely, such variations can be minimized through the designs contemplated in this disclosure.

[0168] Figure 11 A brightness diagram distribution (1100) within the optical zone of an embodiment of a spectacle lens of the present disclosure (50 mm diameter) is shown, with brightness varying along one azimuth angle (1101) and along one meridian (1102). Figure 11 Also shown are the corresponding brightness curves versus the diameter of the viewing area for four representative sample meridians 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° (1103), and the corresponding brightness curves versus the azimuth angle for four representative sample radial positions R1, R2, R3 and R4 (1104), with radial distances of 5, 10, 20 and 30 mm, respectively.

[0169] The spectacle lens is configured to have a substantially radially invariant, meridional, and azimuthal diopter distribution (diopter: -3DS / +1.75D, hemispherical), wherein the diopter at the flattest semi-meridian (vertical meridian, 90°) is approximately -1.25DS, the diopter at the steepest semi-meridian (e.g., horizontal meridian, 0°) is approximately -3.00DS, and the diopter at the oblique meridians of 45° and 135° is approximately -2.16DS. In this exemplary embodiment, the difference between the flattest and steepest semi-meridians is an incremental diopter of 1.75D.

[0170] In all examples of this disclosure, any reference to cylinder is in addition to the cylinder prescription correction for myopia with astigmatism.

[0171] Figure 12 A brightness diagram distribution (1200) within the optical zone of an embodiment of a spectacle lens of the present disclosure (50 mm diameter) is shown, with brightness varying along one azimuth angle (1201) and along one meridian (1202). Figure 12 Also shown are the corresponding brightness curves versus view zone diameter for four representative sample meridians 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° (1203), and the corresponding brightness curves versus azimuth angle for four representative sample meridian positions R1, R2, R3 and R4 (1204), with radial distances of 5, 10, 20 and 30 mm, respectively.

[0172] The spectacle lens is configured to have a substantially radially invariant, meridional, and azimuthally varying brightness distribution (dioptric power: -3DS / +1.25D, Cosine-Variant lens I). As can be seen in 1203 and 1204, in the region defined by the azimuth angles of 0° to 180°, the brightness distribution varies between approximately -2.4D, -2.9D, and -3D at the 0°, 45° / 135° meridian, and the 90° meridian, and in the region defined by the azimuth angles of 180° to 360°, the brightness varies between approximately -2.4D, -1.9D, and -1.75D at the 0°, 45° / 135°, and 90° meridians, respectively, resulting in an incremental brightness of approximately 1.25D.

[0173] Figure 13 A brightness diagram distribution (1300) within the optical zone of an embodiment of a spectacle lens of the present disclosure (50 mm diameter) is shown, with brightness varying along one azimuth angle (1301) and along one meridian (1302). Figure 13 Also shown are the corresponding brightness curves versus view zone diameter for four representative sample meridians 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° (1303), and the corresponding brightness curves versus azimuth angle for four representative sample sagittal meridian positions R1, R2, R3 and R4 (1304), with radial distances of 5, 10, 20 and 30 mm, respectively.

[0174] The spectacle lens is configured to have a substantially radially invariant, meridional and azimuthally varying brightness distribution (power: -3DS / +1.75D, Cosine-Variant II). As can be seen in 1303 and 1304, the brightness distribution in the region defined by the azimuth angles of 0° to 180° varies between approximately -3D, -2.57D, and -2.12D at the 0°, 45° / 135° meridian, and the 90° meridian, and in the region defined by the azimuth angles of 180° to 360°, the brightness varies between approximately -2.12D, -1.7D, and -1.25D at the 0°, 45° / 135°, and 90° meridians, respectively, resulting in a delta power of approximately 1.75D. Figure 14 A brightness map distribution (1400) within the optical zone of an embodiment of a spectacle lens of the present disclosure (50 mm diameter) is illustrated, with brightness along an azimuth (1401) and along a meridian (1402) in a varying brightness map. Figure 14 Also shown are the corresponding brightness curves versus the diameter of the viewing area for four representative sample meridians 0°, 45°, 90° and 135° (1403), and the corresponding brightness curves versus the azimuth angle for four representative sample radial positions R1, R2, R3 and R4 (1404), with radial distances of 5, 10, 20 and 30 mm, respectively.

[0175] The spectacle lens is configured to have a substantially radial, meridional, and azimuthal power distribution (power: -3DS / +1.25D, Cosine-variable lens III). As can be seen in 1403 and 1404, in the region defined by the azimuthal angle of 0° to 180°, the power distribution varies between -2.4 to -2.6D, -2.7 to -3.2D, and -2.8 to -3.25D. The meridians are 0°, 45° / 135°, and 90°, respectively, and in the region defined by the azimuthal angle of 180° to 360°, the power distribution varies between -2.7 to -2.4D, -2.2 to -2.1D, and -2 to -1.9D for the meridians 0°, 45° / 135°, and 90°, respectively, resulting in an incremental power of approximately 1.25D (at a radial distance of approximately 20 mm).

[0176] Figure 15A Shown as Figures 11 to 14 Brightness diagrams of two pairs of exemplary myopia management glasses 1500a and 1510a are shown for reducing, inhibiting or controlling the rate of myopia progression in individuals as disclosed herein. The first pair of glasses (1500a) includes a right lens 1501a and a left lens 1502a mounted in a frame 1503a. The right lens is configured as Figure 11 The brightness characteristics shown in FIG. 1 , wherein the axis of the straightest meridian is located at 90°, the left lens 1502a is configured as shown in FIG. Figure 11The brightness characteristics are such that the axis of the straightest meridian is located at 180°. The second pair of glasses (1510a) comprises a right lens 1511a and a left lens 1512a mounted in a frame 1513a. The right lens is configured as follows Figure 13 The brightness characteristics shown in FIG. 1 are shown in FIG. 1 , wherein the axis of the straightest meridian is located at 315° and the left lens 1502a is configured as shown in FIG. Figure 14 The brightness characteristics wherein the axis of the straightest meridian is located at 45°.

[0177] Figure 15B Shown as Figures 11 to 14 Brightness diagrams of two pairs of exemplary auxiliary myopia management eyeglass fronts 1500b and 1510b are shown, which are used in conjunction with a standard pair of single vision eyeglass lenses to reduce, inhibit or control the rate of myopia progression in individuals as disclosed herein. The first pair of eyeglass fronts (1500b) includes a right lens 1501b and a left lens 1502b within an eyeglass front frame 1503b. The right lens is configured as shown in FIG. Figure 11 The refractive index profile shown in FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration in which the axis of the straightest meridian is at 90° and the left lens 1502b is configured as shown in FIG. Figure 11 The diopter profile is such that the straightest meridian is located at 180°. The second pair of glasses (1510b) comprises a right lens 1511b and a left lens 1512b mounted in a glasses frame 1513b. The right lens is configured as follows Figure 13 The refractive power profile shown in FIG. 1 is shown in FIG. 1 , wherein the axis of the straightest meridian is located at 315°, and the left lens 1502b is configured as shown in FIG. Figure 14 The refractive power profile wherein the straightest meridian axis is located at 45°.

[0178] exist Figure 15A In FIG15B , the front of the glasses or the frame example has circular lenses of the same diameter. This is one of the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, but in some other embodiments, non-circular fronts, frames or lenses of the glasses can be considered, such as oval, rectangular and any other common glasses shapes. In addition, for example Figure 15A and 15B The diameter of the front lens or the frame or the lens of the glasses may be in the range of 25 mm to 60 mm.

[0179] Figure 15A and 15B The two pairs of glasses or front lenses of the glasses are configured to have a brightness distribution that varies in the meridian and azimuth in each eye, and the magnitude of the brightness variation and the direction of the axis (i.e., the axis of the flattest semi-meridian) are also different.

[0180] Figure 15A and 15BThe two pairs of glasses or the first pair of glasses are prescribed to be used for different periods of time, for example, changing each pair every day, two days, three days, 4 days, 5 days, 7 days, 10 days, 14 days or 21 days.

[0181] In some examples, the two (2) wearing time periods described in the method of using two pairs of myopia management glasses shown in FIG15 may be every other day of the week, such as Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. In other examples, the two wearing time periods may be specific days of the week; for example, days of the week. In still other examples, the two (2) wearing time periods may include specific days of each month.

[0182] Figure 16 Shown in FIG. 1 are the axial spatiotemporal variation point spread functions obtained by correcting myopia with two pairs of glasses 1500a and 1510a or two pairs of front glasses 1500b and 1510b (Table 1) at a visible wavelength (e.g., 589 nm) incident at an angle of incidence of 0D on the retinal planes 1 and 2.

[0183] The two lines of point spread functions 1600 and 1610 represent the following: Figure 15A Two pairs of myopia management glasses lenses as described or Figure 15B When describing the front mirror, the wearer's retinal axial temporal and spatial variation of the light signal. Figure 11 The point spread function of the hemispherical mirror shown in Figure 16 1601 is shown. Figure 12 The point spread function of the cosine-variable angle lens I is shown in Figure 16 1602 is shown. Figure 13 The point spread function of the cosine-variable angle lens II is shown in Figure 16 1603 is displayed. Figure 14 The point spread function of the cosine-variable angle lens III is shown in Figure 16 1604. It can be seen that the myopia management glasses or the front lens 1501 of the glasses provide different irregular point spread functions on the wearer's retina.

[0184] Figure 17 Shown are temporal and spatial variations of the incident light on the retina of a -3D myopic model right eye corrected with the two (2) right lenses of the glasses described in FIG15 under a prescribed regimen and over a prescribed two (2) periods, depicted as a wide-angle through-focus diagram. The rows represent the optical performance at various field angles (-10 degrees, 0 degrees, and 10 degrees). The irregular blur pattern 1701 is the image produced when the right eye is corrected with the right lens 1501a of the first pair of glasses 1500a, and the irregular blur pattern 1702 is the image produced when the right eye is corrected with the right lens 1511a of the second pair of glasses 1510a.

[0185] Figure 17 The through-focus diagram represents the time integral of the light signal obtained by integrating the responses obtained when the right lenses of the two pairs of glasses are worn on the -3D myopic model eye. The time integral refers to the combination of the effects of wearing glasses within a specified two (2) periods represented in one through-focus diagram.

[0186] Figure 18 Shown are the temporal and spatial variations of the incident light on the retina of a -3D myopic model left eye corrected with the two (2) left lenses of the glasses described in FIG15 under a prescribed regimen and over a prescribed two (2) periods, depicted as a wide-angle through-focus diagram. The rows represent the optical performance at various field angles (-10 degrees, 0 degrees, and 10 degrees). The irregular blur pattern 1801 is the image produced when the left eye is corrected with the left lens 1502a of the first pair of glasses 1500a, and the irregular blur pattern 1802 is the image produced when the left eye is corrected with the left lens 1512a of the second pair of glasses 1511a.

[0187] Figure 18 The through-focus diagram represents the time integral of the light signal obtained by integrating the responses obtained when the right lenses of the two pairs of glasses are worn on the -3D myopic model eye. The time integral refers to the combination of the effects of wearing glasses within a specified two (2) periods represented in one through-focus diagram.

[0188] The through-focus geometric point analysis of the retinal plane was calculated using five positions, from -0.6 to +0.6 mm, with each jump of 0.3 mm; retinal positions -0.6 mm and -0.3 mm were in front of the retina; retinal position 0 mm was on the retina; and retinal positions +0.3 mm and +0.6 mm were behind the retina.

[0189] It can be seen that in this example, the right and left eyeglass lenses ( Figure 15A ) corrected the right and left myopia, resulting in different oval blur patterns of varying sizes and shapes of spectacle lenses ( Figure 17 and Figure 18 ), i.e., causing the stop signal to vary in space and time. This also leads to changes in visual performance between two glasses wearing cycles.

[0190] Figure 19Shown are retinal signals represented as on-axis through-focus modulation transfer functions 1901 and 1903 for the tangential and sagittal meridians for incident light of a visible wavelength (589 nm) at an incident angle of 0D incident on an illustrative model eye corrected with a right eye lens (1501a and 1511a) of a -3DS prescription (Table 1). Retinal signals represented as on-axis through-focus modulation transfer functions 1902 and 1904 for the tangential and sagittal meridians for incident light of a visible wavelength (589 nm) at an incident angle of 0D incident on an illustrative model eye corrected with a left eye lens (1502a and 1512a) of a -3DS prescription (Table 1).

[0191] and Figure 6 Compared to the spectacle lenses previously disclosed in PCT / AU2020 / 051005 and described in , the change in visual performance when changing from one pair of spectacles to another is minimal, i.e., it is more balanced in the current exemplary spectacle lens design due to the reduction of the peak in at least one (sagittal or tangential) plane in front of the retina.

[0192] Figure 20 A pair of standard single-vision glasses for correcting myopia can be converted into myopia management glasses by applying a supplementary optical sheet or film from the kit disclosed herein to substantially the entire surface of the left eye lens. Methods for configuring the supplementary optical sheet or film are described.

[0193] Figure 20 The left portion shows a right lens (2001) and a left lens (2002) of a pair of standard single vision eyeglass lenses 2000 that can be used to correct myopic refractive errors with or without astigmatism.

[0194] Figure 20 The right side portion shows an exemplary embodiment, which includes an optical film or optical sheet 2003 designed to substantially cover a left mirror 2002 (shown by a dashed border), which is configured to be substantially flat overall 2005; and a circular optical component 2006, which is configured to fall within the time region of the left lens of the eyeglass lens.

[0195] The optical film or sheet can be peeled off using the 2004 portion of the film and placed on an eyeglass lens. In this example, the circular optical component has a diameter of approximately 4 mm. The optical component is configured to have one or more meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distributions, wherein at least one of the meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distributions lacks mirror symmetry. In some examples, the non-permanent auxiliary optical film or sheet configured with at least one circular optical component of the present invention includes an adhesive backing to adhere the optical sheet or film to a standard single-vision eyeglass lens. The non-permanent adhesive backing can be peelable, self-adhesive, or any other suitable adhesive means to adhere the non-permanent auxiliary optical film or sheet to a standard single-vision eyeglass lens.

[0196] Exemplary methods of using the disclosed non-permanent auxiliary optical films or sheets for use with a wearer's own eyeglass lenses are described herein. For example, an eye care practitioner, a dispenser, or any other trained professional can assess the shape of the wearer's eyeglass lenses and / or frames to determine the shape and size of the non-permanent optical film or sheet based on the care regimen disclosed herein that needs to be followed.

[0197] For example, according to the present disclosure, non-auxiliary optical films or sheets can be cut or stamped into shapes that substantially match the eyeglass frames or lenses they are intended for. Individually customized non-permanent optical films or sheets can then be distributed in kits or sets that include various permutations and combinations of shapes, designs, and positions of one or more optical components configured with the non-permanent auxiliary optical films or sheets, such as Figure 21 and 22 As stated.

[0198] An exemplary method for using an eyewear device kit with a non-permanent auxiliary optical film and / or sheet involves the following steps: (i) measuring the shape and size of the wearer's own eyeglass lens and / or frame to determine its shape and the size of the non-permanent optical film; (ii) cutting or punching the non-permanent auxiliary optical film to substantially match the shape of the eyeglass lens or frame; (iii) distributing it in the form of a set or kit, the set or kit including a plurality of pairs of non-permanent optical films that are cut or punched separately, and including various arrangements and combinations of sizes, shapes, designs, and positions of one or more optical components within the non-permanent auxiliary optical film or sheet; (iv) providing a set of instructions to comply with a specific care regimen. In some other examples, the non-permanent auxiliary optical film or sheet can be constructed to have at least two or three optical components; preferably, the second optical component or the second optical component can be configured to have at least two optical components. Each has a luminance distribution that varies in the longitudinal and azimuthal directions of the present invention. In other examples, the shape of the optical component can be elliptical, non-circular, or any other regular or irregular shape. In other examples, the diameter of the optical component can be between 0.75 mm and 4 mm, 0.75 mm and 2 mm, 1.25 mm and 3 mm, or 1.25 mm and 3 mm. In other examples, the surface area of ​​the optical component can be between approximately 0.5 square millimeters and 12 square millimeters, between 1.5 square millimeters and 6 square millimeters, or between 2.5 square millimeters and 8 square millimeters.

[0199] Figure 21 An array of readily available, non-permanent auxiliary optical sheets or films packaged in a kit or set disclosed herein is shown, which is suitable for use in Figure 20 Use on the entire surface of the standard single vision glasses described in the. The prescribed periods (1 to 6) described herein. Figure 21 In the example of the embodiment of the present invention, a kit or left and right parts of a kit of optical films or sheets are provided with a circular optical component characterized by the meridional and azimuthal brightness distribution disclosed herein. In this example, the meridional and azimuthal brightness distribution within the optical component is as shown in Figures 11 to 14 The four designs are described in detail. The positional variation of optical components in optical films or sheets and their application to standard single-vision glasses for myopia correction provide an optical stop signal or stimulus to the eye that varies in time and space.

[0200] exist Figure 21 In the examples shown, the sizes of the individual circular optical components in the optical sheet assembly or set vary from 3 mm to 6 mm in diameter. In these examples, the brightness distribution of each optical component in terms of meridian and azimuth variations is shown as a brightness diagram, such as Figures 11 to 14 Described in detail in.

[0201] exist Figure 21In the example, circular optical components configured within the optical film are configured to target different periods and two eyes, i.e., the optical components are configured differently in design, size, position, brightness difference, and axis (i.e., flattest semi-meridian). These different optical component configurations produce the desired spatially and temporally varying stop signals.

[0202] Figure 22 An array of another readily available non-permanent auxiliary optical sheet or film packaged in a kit or kit is shown, which is suitable for use in Figure 20 Used on substantially the entire surface area of ​​a pair of standard single vision glasses. Figure 22 The film or sheet is configured for use during the six (6) different wear periods described herein.

[0203] exist Figure 22 In the example, exemplary embodiments include a set or group of non-permanent auxiliary optical films or sheets designed to substantially cover Figure 20 The optical film or sheet is configured to have substantially plano-brightness on the optical film or sheet and to have at least two circular optical components within the optical film or sheet. The optical film or sheet can be peeled off to be placed on the appropriate single vision lens, whether for the right or left eye.

[0204] In some examples, Figure 21 and 22 The six (6) wearing time periods may be every day of the week, for example, Monday to Saturday, or Sunday to Friday. In other examples, the six (6) wearing time periods may be every other day of the week. In other examples, the six (6) wearing time periods may include specific days of the month, for example, the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th of each month.

[0205] Figure 23 Another pair of standard single vision glasses for correcting myopia is shown, with a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component applied to a certain area of ​​the glasses lens to convert the standard single vision glasses into a pair of myopia prevention glasses, wherein the method of dispensing the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component is described herein. In this example, Figure 23 The left side of the diagram shows a pair of standard eyeglass lenses 2300 having a right side 2301 and a left side 2302 lens that can be used to correct myopic refractive errors with or without astigmatism. The optical centers of the right and left lenses are indicated by 2303.

[0206] The area of ​​interest on the eyeglass lens 2304 can be identified by marking the inner and outer boundaries shown by the dotted lines. In addition, some locations can be identified as areas where the optical components will be placed. These standards can be engraved on the material of the single vision eyeglass lens to facilitate positioning of the marked cross, such as 2305. Figure 23 An exemplary embodiment is shown that includes a micro-optical assembly placed on a selected area of ​​the right lens, indicated by a cross 2305 and illustrated in solid lines. The micro-optical assembly is configured so that the optical assembly is located just below the right single-vision lens. The micro-optical assembly can be partially peeled away using 2307 for placement on the single-vision lens.

[0207] Figure 24 An array of optical sheets or films is shown comprising readily available, non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical components in a plurality of subsets packaged in a kit, said subsets or sets being configured in four (4) different periods. The micro-optical components are only suitable for Figure 23 The area on a standard pair of glasses as described in . For example, Figure 24 The A group includes a number of circular micro-optical components, each of which is configured with a meridian such as Figure 11 As shown, the brightness distribution varies with azimuth, and the micro-optical components in groups B, C, and D are shown in Figure 2. Figure 12 、 13 14 , with a meridional and azimuthal brightness distribution. The diameter of the micro-optical assemblies in each group varies between 3 mm and 6 mm, and the optical power varies between 1D and 2.5D. In other examples, the surface area of ​​the micro-optical assemblies is approximately between 0.5 mm² and 12 mm², 1.5 mm² and 6 mm², or 2.5 mm² and 8 mm². In other examples, the diameter of the micro-optical assemblies can be between 0.75 mm and 4 mm, 0.75 mm and 2 mm, 1.25 mm and 3 mm, or 1.25 mm and 3 mm.

[0208] exist Figure 23 In this example, laser engraving in the form of dots, lines, or a cross-shaped pattern can be used to define specific or prescribed locations on the eyeglass lens. Furthermore, a method of prescribing a kit or set includes the wearer affixing or adhering the micro-optical assembly to a designated area of ​​the eyeglass lens within a specified time period.

[0209] This document describes exemplary methods for using the disclosed non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly in conjunction with a wearer's own eyeglass lenses. For example, an eye care practitioner, optometrist, or any other trained professional can provide guidance and determine a set of predetermined positions on the wearer's own eyeglass lenses to facilitate the wearer's changing the position of the mini-optical assembly according to a care regimen.

[0210] In some examples, selection of a predetermined set of positions on the wearer's own spectacle lenses can be determined by considering various patient-related factors, such as the degree of myopia, the onset of myopia, parental myopia, age, gender, and other risk factors generally associated with the progression of myopia or high myopia.

[0211] In some examples, the magnitude of the incremental brightness, azimuthal and meridional brightness distribution, design, axial position, size, and location of the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical components prescribed according to the care regimen can be selected based on the wearer's risk factors. For example, a highly advanced myopic eye can be prescribed at least one micro-optical component with a brightness difference of at least 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3 degrees. In another example, a highly advanced myopic eye can be prescribed at least one micro-optical component configured with specific design features that allow for greater spatiotemporal variation in the light signal, which can provide a stronger light stimulus over time to provide greater efficacy.

[0212] For example, according to the presently disclosed examples, the non-permanent auxiliary optical films or sheets can then be cut or punched out to substantially match the shape of their eyeglass frames or lenses. The individually customized non-permanent optical films or sheets can then be distributed in sets or kits that include various permutations and combinations of shapes, designs, and positions of one or more optical components configured within the non-permanent auxiliary optical films or sheets, such as Figure 21 and 22 As stated.

[0213] Figure 25 Shown in Figure 24 The present invention relates to the use of micro-optical assemblies described in Sets A through D, each of which comprises an array of similarly designed, off-the-shelf, non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assemblies. In this example, during a first time period, the micro-optical assemblies of Sets A and C are configured on selected areas of left and right eyeglass lenses for correcting myopia with or without astigmatism, in this example maintaining a longitudinal axis of symmetry.

[0214] In the second stage, micro-optical components are taken from sets B and C and arranged on selected areas of the left and right eyeglass lenses, maintaining symmetry along the longitudinal axis. In the third stage, all micro-optical components are taken from sets B and C and arranged on selected areas of the left and right eyeglass lenses, maintaining symmetry along the longitudinal axis. Figure 24The C group is configured on the selected areas of the left and right eyeglass lenses and maintains symmetry along the longitudinal axis. In the fourth specified cycle, all micro-optical components are taken from Figure 24 The C group is configured on selected areas of the left and right lenses, this time without maintaining symmetry along the longitudinal axis.

[0215] In the fifth stage, Figure 24 Three micro-optical components were extracted from sets C, B and D, which were configured on selected areas of the left and right eyeglass lenses, maintaining symmetry along the vertical axis.

[0216] In the sixth stage, all three micro-optical components are Figure 24 The images are extracted from the sets A and C and arranged on the selected areas of the left and right eyeglass lenses, maintaining symmetry along the vertical axis.

[0217] Figure 26 A standard single vision off-the-shelf eyeglass blank 2600 is shown, which is typically used to correct myopia with or without astigmatism, to fit into an eyeglass frame having a 25 mm lens diameter. The eyeglass lens 2600 is configured with a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component 2605, which consists of a meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distribution, which is obtained from Figure 24 Extracted from the disclosed kit or kit A.

[0218] In this example, a standard eyeglass lens is configured to have an area defined around an optical center 2601 having an inner diameter of 8 mm, represented by dashed line 2603, and an outer diameter of approximately 15 mm, represented by solid line 2602, forming a treated area 2604 identified for positioning the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly. Figure 26 The basic prescription of standard single vision off-the-shelf glasses is -3DS, which is used to correct myopia in the eyes.

[0219] The non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 2605 is approximately 4.5 mm from the geometric center (2601) of the 3DS eyeglass lens 2600. The micro-optical assembly 2605 is circular, approximately 1.75 mm in diameter, and has a blended width of 0.1 mm. In certain other embodiments, it may be advantageous to have the micro-optical assembly be non-circular or any other regular or irregular shape, which is considered within the scope of the present disclosure. In any of these applications, there may be a difference in thickness around the perimeter, at least along certain portions.

[0220] The non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 2605 has a meridional (2606) and azimuth (2607) brightness distribution that varies with the lens, with a brightness difference (hemispherical component) of +1.75D. A combined diopter diagram (i.e., the diopter of the -3DS standard eyeglasses combined with the diopter of the micro-optical assembly) shows that the diopter of the micro-optical assembly is -3DS along the temporal direction of the photons. The diopter of the semi-meridian along the alar direction is -1.25DS. The superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal portions of the standard eyeglass lenses are denoted by the characters S, T, I, and N, respectively.

[0221] Figure 27 Shown with Figure 26 Schematic diagram of wide-field ray tracing for a -3D myopic eye corrected for the exemplary embodiment described in

[15] ; the ray tracing scheme encompasses three field angles when the spectacle lenses are used with the model eye of Table 1. Representative ray bundles passing through (a) the temporal portion of the lens (-15, 0); (b) the central portion of the lens (0, 0); and (c) the nasal portion of the lens (15, 0).

[0222] As from Figure 27 As can be seen, the only light beams passing through the temporal portion of the lens encounter the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 2701, thereby providing the desired stop signal at the corresponding retinal location. The light beams passing through the central and nasal portions of the spectacle lens do not apply any optical stop signal at the desired retinal location.

[0223] Figure 28 shows that when the incident light is incident on Figure 26 Point spread function over a wide field of view when the exemplary embodiment described in

[0045] is corrected for a 3D myopia model eye.

[0224] from Figure 28 As can be seen, the light beam passing through the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 2605 produces a point spread function 2801, which is affected by the additional meridional and azimuthal variations in the brightness distribution within the micro-optical assembly, thereby producing the desired directional cues or optical "stop" signals. In contrast to 2803, these "stop" signals are not formed when the light beam passes through the portion of the eyeglass lens without the micro-optical assembly. The central light beam passing through the basic eyeglass lens produces an ideal point spread function 2802.

[0225] Figure 29 The spatial variation of the signal is shown, depicted as a wide-angle through-focus point diagram. Figure 26 When an exemplary embodiment is described in

[0045] , the optical performance of the spectacle lens is represented at various viewing angles with the model eye of Table 1 when correcting a 3D myopia model eye.

[0226] The rows represent through-focus diagrams formed when a light beam passes through three different areas of the glasses: (a) the first row shows the through-focus diagram when the incident light beam passes through a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component temporarily located on the glasses lens; (b) the second row shows the data obtained when the incident light beam passes through the central part of the glasses lens without the auxiliary micro-optical component; (c) the third row shows the data obtained when the incident light beam passes through the nose of the glasses lens without the auxiliary micro-optical component.

[0227] As from Figure 29 As can be seen, the light beam passing through the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly produces a partially blurred cone comprising a blurred pattern of irregular tangents 2901 and sagittals 2901 substantially in front of the retina. However, when the incident light passes through the central or nasal portion of the spectacle lens, i.e., an area substantially free of micro-optical assemblies, no distinct Sturm cone is observed in front of or around the retina.

[0228] In this example, the length, position, and orientation of the partially blurred cones serve as a directional cue or optical stop signal to reduce the wearer's rate of myopia progression. In some embodiments, the refractive power and position of the micro-optic assembly on a single vision lens are optimized to maintain the entire partially blurred cone in front of the peripheral retina. In other embodiments, the optical properties are optimized to position the partially blurred cones in both the tangential and sagittal planes across the peripheral retina.

[0229] A prescribed method of varying the position of a micro-optical component on a single vision spectacle lens provides temporal and spatial variation in directional cues or stop signals; thus, the effects of myopia treatment can remain constant over time.

[0230] exist Figure 30 In the example, following the use of Figure 24 The effects of removing a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly from one of the A or D kits described in the present invention and combining it with the prescribed method of a standard single vision lens are discussed. Figure 23 For example, the full focus map and point spread function on the retina were analyzed for three different configurations. These three configurations describe a situation in which a method for specifying a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component with a meridional and azimuthal variation in brightness distribution is used at a specified spatial location on the spectacle lens (approximately 4.5 mm from the optical center), such as Figure 26 In the manner specified below; wherein the specified method includes using the micro-optical assembly in three different axes / directions of the optical assembly at the meridian of minimum optical principal brightness: (a) 90 degrees; (b) 225 degrees; (c) 315 degrees. When the micro-optical assembly is used in the specified manner, Figure 24 The spatially and temporally varying signal is shown.

[0231] Figure 31 A standard single vision off-the-shelf spectacle lens 3100 is shown, which is typically used to correct nearsightedness with or without astigmatism and can be fitted into a spectacle frame with a 30 mm lens diameter. The spectacle lens 3100 is configured with a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optic component 3105, which includes a meridional and azimuthal varying brightness distribution, which is obtained from Figure 24 3104 is extracted from the kit or set B disclosed in . In this example, a standard eyeglass lens is configured with a region of interest defined around an optical center 3101 having an inner diameter of approximately 7 mm represented by a dashed line 3103 and an outer diameter of approximately 25 mm represented by a solid line 3102, forming a region of interest 3104 identified for positioning the non-permanent mini optical assembly.

[0232] Figure 31 A standard single vision off-the-shelf spectacle lens has a base prescription of -1DS for correcting myopia in an eye of -1DS. The non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3105 is located approximately 6 mm from the geometric center (3101) of the -3DS spectacle lens 3100. The micro-optical assembly 3105 has a diameter of approximately 1.5 mm and a blending width of 0.05 mm. The non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3105 has a brightness distribution that varies in meridian (3106) and azimuth (3107), with a brightness difference of +1.25D (cosine-variable I component). The combined brightness diagram (i.e., the brightness difference of the -1DS standard spectacle lens and the brightness difference of the micro-optical assembly) shows that the micro-optical assembly has a semi-meridian with a -1DS brightness along the standard spectacle lens and a semi-meridian with a 0.25DS brightness along the nasal direction. The superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal portions of the standard spectacle lens are denoted by the characters S, T, I, and N, respectively.

[0233] Figure 32 Shown with Figure 31 Schematic diagram of wide-field ray tracing for a -1D myopia eye corrected by the exemplary embodiment described in [1]. The ray tracing scheme includes three field angles when the spectacle lens is used with the model eye of Table 1. Representative light beams passing through (a) the temporal portion of the spectacle lens (-20, 0); (b) the central portion of the lens (0, 0); and (c) the nasal portion of the spectacle lens (20, 0).

[0234] As from Figure 32 As can be seen, the only light beam passing through the nasal portion of the spectacle lens encounters the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3201, thereby providing the desired stop signal at the corresponding retinal location. The light beams passing through the central and temporal portions of the spectacle lens do not generate any optical stop signal at the desired retinal location.

[0235] Figure 33shows that when the incident light is incident on Figure 25 Point spread function over a wide field of view when the exemplary embodiment described in

[0045] is corrected for a 3D myopia model eye.

[0236] As from Figure 33 As can be seen, the light beam passing through the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3105 produces a point spread function 3303, which is affected by the additional brightness distribution that varies in the micro-assembly in both meridians and azimuths, thereby producing the desired stop signal. This is formed when the light beam passes through the portion of the eyeglass lens without the micro-optical assembly 3301. The central light beam passing through the basic eyeglass lens produces the desired point spread function 3302.

[0237] Figure 34 shows the spatially varying signal, depicted as a wide-angle through-focus diagram. Figure 31 An exemplary embodiment described in the accompanying drawings is shown in Figure 1 , in which the optical performance of the spectacle lens with the model eye is shown at various field angles when corrected for a -1D myopia.

[0238] In this example, each row shows the through focus diagram formed when the incident light beam passes through three different areas of the glasses: (a) The first row shows the data obtained when the incident light beam passes through the time portion of the glasses lens without auxiliary optical components; (b) The second row shows the data obtained when the incident light beam passes through the central part of the glasses lens without auxiliary micro-optical components; (c) The third row shows the through focus diagram when the incident light beam passes through the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component located on the nose side of the glasses.

[0239] As from Figure 34 As can be seen, the light beam passing through the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component produces a partial cone of blur, which includes irregular sagittal 3401 and tangential 3402 blur patterns, substantially in front of the retinal area. However, when the incident light passes through the central or temporal portion of the spectacle lens, i.e., areas substantially devoid of micro-optical components, no obvious localized cone of blur is observed in front of or around the retina.

[0240] In this example, the length, position, and orientation of the partially blurred cones formed on the peripheral retina contribute to a directional cue or optical stop signal to reduce the rate of myopia progression. In some embodiments, the meridional and azimuthal brightness of the micro-optical assembly and its position on the single-vision spectacle lens are optimized to maintain the entire partially blurred cone in front of the retinal periphery, while in other embodiments, the characteristics of the micro-optical assembly can position the partially blurred cones on the retina in a sagittal plane. The prescribed method of varying the position of the micro-optical assembly on the single-vision spectacle lens provides temporal and spatial variation in the directional cue or stop signal; thus, the effect of the myopia treatment can be maintained constant over time.

[0241] Figure 35 A standard single vision off-the-shelf spectacle lens 3500, typically used to correct nearsightedness with or without astigmatism, is shown to fit within a 30 mm lens diameter spectacle frame. The spectacle lens 3500 is configured with a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optic component 3505 that includes a meridional and azimuthal varying brightness profile that is obtained from Figure 24 35. In this example, a standard eyeglass lens is configured with a region of interest defined around an optical center 3501, with an inner diameter of approximately 7 mm indicated by a dotted line 3503 and an outer diameter of approximately 20 mm indicated by a solid line 3502, thereby forming a region of interest 3504 for positioning the non-permanent auxiliary mini optical assembly.

[0242] Figure 35 A standard single vision off-the-shelf spectacle lens has a base prescription of -3DS for correcting -3DS myopia in the eye. The non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3505 is located approximately 4.5 mm from the geometric center (3501) of the -3DS spectacle lens 3500. The micro-optical assembly 3505 has a diameter of approximately 2 mm and a blend width of 0.075 mm. The non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3505 has a varying brightness profile with a brightness difference of +1.75D in the meridian (3506) and azimuth (3507) (Cosine-Varian II component). The combined brightness diagram (i.e., the sum of the brightness of the -3DS standard spectacle lens and the brightness difference of the micro-optical assembly) shows that the semi-meridian of the micro-optical assembly of the standard spectacle lens has a -3DS brightness in the superior nasal direction and a -1.25DS semi-meridian in the inferior temporal direction. The superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal portions of the standard spectacle lens are designated by the characters S, T, I, and N, respectively.

[0243] Figure 36 Shown with Figure 35Schematic diagram of wide-field ray tracing for -3D myopia correction using the exemplary embodiment described in FIG; the ray tracing scheme provides three viewing angles for the glasses wearer: a temporal viewing angle (-15, 0), a central viewing angle (0, 0), and a nasal viewing angle (15, 0).

[0244] Figure 36 Shown with Figure 35 Schematic diagram of wide field of view ray tracing for a -3D myopic eye corrected by the exemplary embodiment described in FIG; when the spectacle lens is used with the model eye of Table 1, the ray tracing scheme includes three field of view angles. Representative light beams passing through (a) the temporal portion of the spectacle lens (-15,0); (b) the central portion of the lens (0,0); and (c) the nasal portion of the spectacle lens (15,0). Figure 36 As can be seen, the only light beam passing through the temporal portion of the spectacle lens encounters the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3505, thereby providing the desired stop signal at the corresponding retinal location. The light beams passing through the central and nasal portions of the spectacle lens do not generate any optical stop signal at the desired retinal location.

[0245] Figure 37 shows that when the incident light is incident on Figure 35 Point spread function over a wide field of view when the exemplary embodiment described in FIG. Figure 35 It can be seen that the point spread function 3701 produced when the light beam passes through the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component 3505 of the glasses is compared to the portion of the lens 3703 without the micro-optical component. The central light beam passing through the glasses lens without the micro-optical component produces the ideal point spread function 3702.

[0246] Figure 38 shows the spatially varying signal, which is depicted as a wide-angle through-focus point diagram. Figure 35 The optical performance of the spectacle lens together with the model eye of Table 1 is shown at various field angles when an exemplary embodiment is corrected on a 3D myopia model eye as described in

[0045] .

[0247] In this example, the rows represent through-focus diagrams formed when a light beam passes through three different areas of the glasses: (a) the first row shows the data obtained when the incident light beam passes through the temporal portion of the glasses without auxiliary optical components; (b) the second row shows the data obtained when the incident light beam passes through the central portion of the glasses lens without auxiliary micro-optical components; (c) the third row shows the through-focus diagram when the incident light beam passes through the auxiliary micro-optical components located on the glasses lens.

[0248] As from Figure 38As can be seen, the light beam passing through the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly produces a localized cone of blur, which includes irregular sagittal 3801 and tangential 3802 blur patterns, substantially in front of the retinal area. However, when the incident light passes through the central or nasal portion of the eyeglass lens, i.e., an area substantially devoid of micro-optical assemblies, no obvious localized cone of blur is observed in front of or around the retina.

[0249] In this example, the length, position, and orientation of a partially blurred cone formed on the retinal periphery are hypothesized to contribute to a directional cue or optical stop signal to reduce the rate of myopia progression. The meridional and azimuthal variations in brightness profile of the micro-optical assembly and its position on the single-vision spectacle lens are optimized to retain the entire cone of partially blurred light in front of the retinal periphery, while in other embodiments, optimization of the micro-optical assembly can position the cone of partially blurred light in a tangential plane to or behind the retinal periphery. The prescribed method of varying the position of the micro-optical assembly on the single-vision spectacle lens provides temporal and spatial variation in the directional cue or stop signal; thus, the effect of the myopia treatment can be maintained constant over time.

[0250] Figure 39 A standard single vision off-the-shelf spectacle lens 3900, typically used to correct nearsightedness with or without astigmatism, is shown to fit within a 30 mm lens diameter spectacle frame. The spectacle lens 3900 is configured with a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3905 consisting of a meridianally and azimuthally varying brightness distribution derived from Figure 24 Extracted from the kit or device disclosed in D.

[0251] In this example, a standard eyeglass lens is configured with an area of ​​interest defined around an optical center 3901, the inner diameter of which is represented by the dashed line 3903 and is approximately 7 mm, while the solid line 3902 is approximately 20 mm, forming an area of ​​interest 3904, which is identified for positioning the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly.

[0252] Figure 39A standard single vision off-the-shelf spectacle lens has a base prescription of -3DS for correcting -3DS myopia in the eye. The non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3905 is located approximately 4.5 mm from the geometric center (3901) of the -3DS spectacle lens 3900. The micro-optical assembly 3905 has a diameter of approximately 1.75 mm and a blend width of 0.075 mm. The non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3905 has varying radial, meridional (3906), and azimuthal (3907) brightness curves with a brightness difference of 1.25D (Cosine-Varian III assembly). A combined brightness plot (i.e., the brightness difference of the -3DS standard spectacle lens and the brightness of the micro-optical assembly) indicates that the micro-optical assembly has a semi-meridian refractive index of approximately -3DS along the inferior temporal direction of the standard spectacle lens and a semi-meridian refractive index of approximately -1.75DS along the superior nasal direction. In addition, the micro-optical assembly has a negative spherical aberration of approximately 0.2D. The superior, temporal, inferior and nasal parts of standard eyeglass lenses are indicated by the characters S, T, I and N respectively.

[0253] Figure 40 Shown with Figure 39 Schematic diagram of wide-field ray tracing for -3D myopia correction using the exemplary embodiment described in FIG; the ray tracing scheme provides three viewing angles for the glasses wearer: a temporal viewing angle (-15, 0), a central viewing angle (0, 0), and a nasal viewing angle (15, 0).

[0254] Figure 40 Shown with Figure 39 Schematic diagram of wide field of view ray tracing for a -3D myopic eye corrected by the exemplary embodiment described in FIG; the ray tracing scheme includes three field of view angles when the spectacle lens is used with the model eye of Table 1. Representative beams passing through (a) the temporal portion of the spectacle lens (-15, 0); (b) the central portion of the lens (0, 0); and (c) the nasal portion of the spectacle lens (15, 0). Figure 40 As can be seen, the only light beams passing through the temporal portion of the spectacle lens encounter the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3905, thereby providing the desired stop signal at the corresponding retinal location. The light beams passing through the central and nasal portions of the spectacle lens do not generate any optical stop signals at the desired retinal locations.

[0255] Figure 41 shows that when the incident light is incident on Figure 39 Point spread function over a wide field of view when using the 3D myopia model eye corrected for the exemplary embodiment described in FIG. Figure 39It can be seen that the desired stop signal is generated by the meridional and azimuthal variations in the brightness distribution within the micro-optical assembly, as compared to the point spread function 4101 generated by the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly 3905, which is affected by the point spread function 4103 formed when the ray beam passes through the lens portion of the glasses without the micro-optical assembly. The central beam passing through the basic eyeglass lens produces an ideal point spread function 4102.

[0256] Figure 42 shows the spatially varying signal, which is depicted as a wide-angle through-focus point diagram. Figure 39 The optical performance of the spectacle lens together with the model eye of Table 1 is shown at various field angles when an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is corrected on a 3D myopia model eye.

[0257] In this example, the rows represent through-focus diagrams formed when a ray beam passes through three different areas of the glasses: (a) the first row shows the data obtained when the incident ray beam passes through the temporal portion of the glasses without auxiliary optical components; (b) the second row shows the data obtained when the incident beam passes through the central portion of the glasses lens without auxiliary micro-optical components; (c) the third row shows the through-focus diagram when the incident beam passes through a non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical component located on the glasses lens.

[0258] As from Figure 42 As can be seen, a light beam passing through the non-permanent auxiliary micro-optical assembly produces a cone of partial blur, comprising irregular sagittal 4201 and tangential 4202 blur patterns, located substantially in front of a retinal area. However, when incident light passes through the central or nasal portion of the spectacle lens, an area substantially devoid of the micro-optical assembly, no significant localized cone of blur is observed in front of or around the retina. In this example, the length, position, and orientation of the cone of partial blur formed on the retinal periphery are hypothesized to contribute to directional guidance or an optical stop signal, thereby reducing the rate of myopia progression. The meridional and azimuthal brightness distribution of the micro-optical assembly, as well as its position on the single-vision spectacle lens, are optimized to maintain the entire cone of partial blur in front of the retinal periphery. In other embodiments, optimization of the micro-optical assembly can position the cone of partial blur in a tangential plane, either in the periphery or behind the retina. The prescribed method of varying the position of the micro-optical assembly on the single-vision spectacle lens provides temporal and spatial variation in the directional cue or stop signal; thus, the effectiveness of myopia treatment can be maintained over time.

[0259] In certain other embodiments, standard single vision glasses include substantially spherical single vision glasses for correcting myopia without astigmatism, or substantially astigmatic / toric single vision glasses for correcting myopia with astigmatism.

[0260] In certain other embodiments, portions of the longitudinally and azimuthally varying brightness distribution of a kit or set of spectacle lenses can be configured to account for eye wear with astigmatism to achieve a satisfactory balance between desired visual performance and the desired partially blurred cone to provide stimulation to reduce or slow progression.

[0261] In some embodiments, a portion of a pair of eyeglass lenses of a kit or set of eyeglass lenses having a meridional and azimuthally varying brightness profile can be positioned, formed, or positioned on the front surface, the back surface, or a combination thereof. In some other embodiments, a portion of a pair of eyeglass lenses of a kit or set of eyeglasses having a meridional and azimuthally varying brightness profile is dedicated to producing a specific characteristic of a stop signal, such as a partially blurred cone with either a sagittal or tangential blur pattern substantially in front of the retina.

[0262] In certain other embodiments, a change or substantial change in the light signal received by on-axis and / or off-axis regions of the retina, which consists of partially blurred or partially blurred intervals in the retinal plane, wherein some cones or partially blurred intervals that fall in front of the retina can produce an optical stop signal (i.e., produce myopic defocus) while the remaining cones or partially blurred intervals produce a par-focus or hyperopic signal. The proportion of cones or partially blurred intervals that provide myopic defocus can be approximately 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or 100%.

[0263] In certain other embodiments, portions of the longitudinally and azimuthally varying brightness distribution of the eyeglass lenses of the kit or set are positioned, formed, or placed on one of the two surfaces of the eyeglass lenses, while the other surface may have other features that further reduce eye growth.

[0264] For example, additional features such as defocus, coma, or spherical aberration are used. In some embodiments, the shapes of the front and back surfaces of the eyeglass lenses of the kit or set can be described by one or more of the following: a sphere, an aspheric surface, an extended odd polynomial, an extended even polynomial, a conic section, a hyperbolic section, a toric surface, or a Zernike polynomial.

[0265] In some other embodiments, the meridional and azimuthal varying brightness distribution over the optical zone of the lens may be described by appropriate Zernike polynomials, Bessel functions, Jacobi polynomials, Taylor polynomials, Fourier expansions, or combinations thereof.

[0266] In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the stop signal may be configured using only meridional and azimuthally varying brightness profiles, wherein at least one of the meridional and azimuthally varying brightness profiles lacks mirror symmetry. However, in other embodiments, higher-order aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, and trefoil may be combined with the configured meridional and azimuthally varying brightness profiles to account for inherent on-axis and / or off-axis higher-order aberrations.

[0267] Another embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a frame spectacle lens of a kit or device for slowing, delaying or preventing at least one of the progression of myopia, the contact lens comprising a front surface, a back surface, an optical zone, an optical center surrounding the optical zone, the optical zone configured with a brightness map characterized by one or more meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distributions, wherein at least one of the meridian and azimuthally varying brightness distributions is configured to have no mirror symmetry, wherein the brightness map at least partially provides foveal correction for a myopic eye and is also configured to at least partially provide at least a partial cone or partially blurred interval to the myopic eye, providing an aperture signal or directional cue centrally and / or peripherally around the retina.

[0268] In some embodiments, the brightness distribution within the optical zone of a set or set of spectacle lenses can be configured to vary meridionally and azimuthally, but remain constant radially, wherein the brightness distribution along the radial direction remains substantially the same. In some other embodiments, the brightness distribution within the optical zone of a set or set of spectacle lenses can be configured meridionally and azimuthally, as well as radially, wherein the brightness distribution along the radial direction is substantially non-uniform.

[0269] In other embodiments, the meridional variation is such that the brightness distribution within the optical zone of the spectacle lenses of the kit or set is not substantially mirror-symmetrical about the optical axis. In other embodiments, the azimuth variation is such that the brightness distribution within the optical zone of the spectacle lenses of the kit or set is not substantially mirror-symmetrical about the optical axis. In some variations of the disclosed embodiments, only one of the plurality of meridional variation brightness distributions is configured as symmetrical, and none of the azimuth variation distributions are configured as symmetrical.

[0270] In some other embodiments, the brightness distribution within the optical zone of a set or set of spectacle lenses can be configured in the meridional and azimuthal directions, as well as in the radial direction, where the brightness distribution along the radial direction can decrease with distance from the center of the optical zone to the edge of the optical zone, and the brightness distribution along the azimuthal direction can decrease and increase from 0 radians to 2π radians. In some embodiments, the decrease in the brightness distribution along the radial direction can be described using a linear, curvilinear, or quadratic function. In certain other embodiments, the decrease in the brightness distribution along the radial direction can be different for different azimuthal positions within the optical zone.

[0271] In other embodiments, the decrease in brightness distribution along the azimuth direction within the optical zone of a lens of a kit or eyeglass frame can follow a cosine distribution with a reduced frequency, such as one-sixth (1 / 6), one-fifth (1 / 5), one-quarter (1 / 4), one-third (1 / 3), or one-half (1 / 2) of the normal frequency, generally defined by two cosine periods over 360° or 2π radians. In other embodiments, the decrease or increase in brightness distribution along the azimuth direction can be different for different radial positions on the optical zone.

[0272] According to one embodiment, the present disclosure relates to a kit or set of spectacle lenses for myopia. The kit or set of spectacle lenses comprises a front surface, a back surface, an optical zone having an optical axis, and a plurality of meridian and azimuthal brightness variation profiles about the optical axis, wherein at least one of the meridian and azimuthal brightness variation profiles is configured, at least in part, to provide appropriate correction for myopia and, when used according to a prescribed care regimen, is further configured, at least in part, to provide a stop signal that varies in time and space; thereby, the therapeutic efficacy of reducing the rate of myopia progression remains substantially consistent over time.

[0273] Certain embodiments are directed to a kit or assembly of eyeglass lenses for at least one of slowing, delaying, or preventing myopia progression, the kit or assembly of eyeglass lenses comprising a refractive index diagram having a brightness profile that varies meridianally and azimuthally within an optical zone characterized by a plurality of meridianally and azimuthally varying brightness profiles, wherein the plurality of meridianally and azimuthally varying brightness profiles result in a brightness difference within the optical zone, which is described as the difference between a maximum and a minimum light brightness change that occurs within the optical zone.
