Patent ID: 8162477

Claim:
A progressive ophthalmic lens adapted to provide a correction for a myopia of a wearer of said lens, the lens comprising: a far vision area, in which the lens has a first optical power value adapted to produce the myopia correction for a foveal vision of the wearer, in far vision conditions; a near vision area, situated below the far vision area for a standard position of use of the lens by the wearer, and in which the lens has a second optical power value adapted for the foveal vision of the wearer in near vision conditions, said second value corresponding to a first reduction of the myopia correction relative to said first value; and an intermediate area, situated between the far vision area and the near vision area, and in which the optical power of the lens varies continually between said first and second values, the lens having a third optical power value at a reference point situated in said intermediate area and corresponding to a direction straight ahead of the gaze of the wearer for the standard position of use of the lens, wherein the lens has, in an upper area of said lens situated above the far vision area and, laterally, on each side of the reference point for the standard position of use of the lens, fourth optical power values which are adapted for a peripheral vision of the wearer when the direction of the gaze of said wearer is straight ahead through the lens, and which correspond to a second reduction of the myopia correction relative to said third optical power value, the optical power of the lens varying continually between the far vision area and the upper area, and between the reference point and the upper area.
