[0034] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all structures.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.

[0036] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Furthermore, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature may include the first feature being directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature may include the first feature being directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or may simply mean that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0037] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplified operation. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meanings.

[0038] This embodiment provides a rigid gas permeable corneal contact lens for myopia prevention and control. The lens body of the rigid gas permeable corneal contact lens for myopia prevention and control is made of a rigid material with high oxygen permeability, which not only improves the oxygen permeability but also ensures the firmness of the material. At the same time, the rigid gas permeable corneal contact lens for myopia prevention and control is combined with a peripheral defocus design, so that after light passes through the lens body and the eyeball, myopic defocus is formed at the periphery of the retina.

[0039] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the rigid gas permeable corneal contact lens for myopia prevention and control includes a lens body 100, and the front surface 110 of the lens body 100 is concentrically provided with a central optical zone 111, a defocus zone 112, a defocus stabilization zone 113 and a front surface peripheral zone 114 from the center to the edge, and the back surface 120 of the lens body 100 is concentrically provided with a base curve zone 121, a positioning zone 122 and a back surface peripheral zone 123 from the center to the edge, the positioning zone 122 includes a plurality of interconnected sub-positioning zones, the longitudinal cross-section of the positioning surface of the sub-positioning zone is a straight line, and the back surface peripheral zone 123 includes at least two interconnected sub-peripheral zones.

[0040] The hard breathable corneal contact lens for myopia prevention and control provided by the present invention has a positioning area 122 including multiple interconnected sub-positioning areas, and the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the positioning surface of the sub-positioning area is a straight line. The connection between the lines is flatter than the arc-to-arc connection in the prior art, which reduces the mechanical friction of the hard breathable corneal contact lens for myopia prevention and control on the surface of the cornea 200, can effectively prevent the human eye from sliding the lens body 100 when blinking, causing visual quality problems, and avoid long-term wear causing damage to the cornea 200. In order to adapt to the complex surface of the cornea 200, the inclination angle of each sub-positioning area can also be adjusted according to actual needs to improve the compatibility of the hard breathable corneal contact lens for myopia prevention and control with the cornea 200 and make the positioning more accurate; the rear surface peripheral area 123 includes at least two interconnected sub-peripheral areas to ensure a gradual flat change from the inside to the outside, reduce the pressure on the surface of the cornea 200 during tear exchange, and improve the comfort of wearing the glasses.

[0041] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the front surface 110 of a lens body 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, the central optical zone 111 has a width FOZD1 of 2 mm to 4 mm. This ensures that external light passing through this area and the eyeball is imaged at a relatively central position on the retina 300, achieving clear vision. In this embodiment, the central optical zone 111 can be either spherical or aspherical. For high-power lens bodies 100, configuring the central optical zone 111 as an aspherical surface can have a certain effect on aberration correction.

[0042] In this embodiment, the defocus region 112 includes a plurality of interconnected separate focus regions. By providing a plurality of interconnected separate focus regions, the defocus intensity can be gradually increased. For example, the number of separate focus regions can be set to 1-11.

[0043] Furthermore, the number of defocus zones is preferably four, and the four defocus zones are respectively a first defocus zone 1121, a second defocus zone 1122, a third defocus zone 1123, and a fourth defocus zone 1124 that are connected to each other. The edge of the first defocus zone 1121 away from the second defocus zone 1122 is connected to the central optical zone 111, and the edge of the fourth defocus zone 1124 away from the third defocus zone 1123 is connected to the defocus stabilization zone 113. In other embodiments, the number of defocus zones may be set to other values, such as 3 or 11, as required.

[0044] Optionally, the diameter width (FOZD5 / 2-FOZD1 / 2) of the defocus zone 112 is 0.5mm-2mm; the diameter width (FOZD6 / 2-FOZD5 / 2) of the defocus stabilization zone 113 is 1mm-2.5mm, and the luminosity in this zone is equal everywhere to achieve a stable state of defocus luminosity; the diameter width (FPD / 2-FOZD6 / 2) of the front surface peripheral zone 114 is 2mm-7mm. Figure 2 The macula 500 is the most sensitive area of ​​vision, and the cones responsible for vision and color vision are distributed in this area. The luminosity of the peripheral area 114 of the front surface is greater than that of the central optical area 111, which will produce a peripheral defocus effect. Peripheral defocus can allow objects outside the central field of view to be projected onto the peripheral retina 300 or the front to form an imaging surface 400, which can reduce the occurrence of hyperopic defocus and achieve the effect of myopia prevention and control.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 : is a diagram of the difference in luminosity between the defocus zone 112 and the central optical zone 111 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. In the diagram, the value of ADD that is not equal to zero represents the difference between the luminosity of each separated focus zone and the luminosity of the central optical zone 111. The range of ADD is preferably 1D-6D, with a step size of 0.5D. Width represents the diameter width of the central optical zone 111, the first defocus zone 1121, the second defocus zone 1122, the third defocus zone 1123 and the fourth defocus zone 1124. Preferably, the diameter width of each separated focus zone is equal to the diameter width of the defocus zone 112 (FOZD5 / 2-FOZD1 / 2) divided by the number of separated focus zones.

[0046] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5: It is a structural schematic diagram of the back surface 120 of the lens body 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, the vertex curvature radius of the base curve area 121 is 5.55mm-7.15mm; the diameter width (BOZD) of the base curve area 121 is 5mm-7mm, so as to leave enough design space for the positioning area 122. The base curve area 121 is also called the optical zone. When the rigid gas-permeable contact lens for myopia prevention and control is worn, a certain tear layer remains between the base curve area 121 and the front surface 110 of the cornea 200 to avoid the problem of corneal hypoxia or compression of the cornea 200 caused by long-term direct contact between the lens body 100 and the cornea 200. Exemplarily, the base curve area 121 can be set as a spherical surface or as an aspherical surface, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0047] Preferably, the positioning area 122 includes three interconnected sub-positioning areas, namely the first positioning area 1221, the second positioning area 1222 and the third positioning area 1223. The edge of the first positioning area 1221 away from the second positioning area 1222 is connected to the base arc area 121, and the edge of the third positioning area 1223 away from the second positioning area 1222 is connected to the rear surface peripheral area 123. Each sub-positioning area adopts a tangent-like structure design, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 : This is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the positioning surface of the positioning area 122 provided by the prior art and the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the solid line is the shape of the longitudinal cross-section of the positioning surface of the positioning area 122 in the prior art, the dotted line is the shape of the longitudinal cross-section of the positioning surface of the positioning area 122 in this embodiment, θ1 is the angle between the first positioning surface of the first positioning area 1221 and the vertical line, θ2 is the angle between the second positioning surface of the second positioning area 1222 and the vertical line, and θ3 is the angle between the third positioning surface of the third positioning area 1223 and the vertical line. As can be seen from the figure, by making the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the positioning surface of each sub-positioning area linear, the transition between each sub-positioning area can be made smoother, reducing mechanical friction with the cornea 200 and avoiding damage to the surface of the cornea 200 caused by long-term wear. In other embodiments, the number of sub-positioning areas can also be set to other numbers, such as 2 or 4, as needed.

[0048] Optionally, the diameter width (BPD1 / 2-BOZD / 2) of the first positioning area 1221 is 0.3mm-0.7mm; the diameter width (BPD2 / 2-BPD1 / 2) of the second positioning area 1222 is 0.3mm-0.7mm; and the diameter width (BPD3 / 2-BPD2 / 2) of the third positioning area 1223 is 0.5mm-1.1mm, so as to better adapt to the size of the cornea 200.

[0049] The rear surface peripheral zone 123 comprises two interconnected sub-peripheral zones, namely a first peripheral zone 1231 and a second peripheral zone 1232. The first peripheral zone 1231 is connected to the positioning zone 122 at an edge distal from the second peripheral zone 1232. The configuration of the rear surface peripheral zone 123 ensures good tear exchange after wearing the lens body 100, thereby maintaining a healthy cornea 200. By configuring the rear surface peripheral zone 123 as the first peripheral zone 1231 and the second peripheral zone 1232, the peripheral lift is smoother, ensuring good tear exchange. This also reduces pressure on the cornea 200 surface and improves wearing comfort. Optionally, the first peripheral zone 1231 and the second peripheral zone 1232 can be spherical or aspherical, such as with a tangent structure, as needed.

[0050] Preferably, the diameter width (BPD4 / 2-BPD3 / 2) of the first peripheral area 1231 is 0.2 mm-0.25 mm; the diameter width (BPD5 / 2-BPD4 / 2) of the second peripheral area 1232 is 0.2 mm-0.25 mm.

[0051] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. A person skilled in the art would be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
