Abstract:
A soft contact lens having the ability to make bifocal corrections can be made by the conjunctive use of lens elements comprising: an annular main body portion having a concave, eye-contacting, posterior surface and a non-continuous, convex, anterior surface having a near vision-aiding add zone, a transition zone, a far vision-aiding zone and a slab-off system and wherein: (a) the near vision-aiding add zone has a diameter of from about 1. 5 mm to about 3. 5, (b) the transition zone has a base length of from about 0. 03 mm to about 0. 20 and (c) a slope angle of from about 15. degree. to about 40. degree. Such lenses also can be used to correct astigmatisms by providing their posterior surface with a toric optic zone.
