Abstract

See full text

Plus and minus power ophthalmic spectacle lenses for the correction of distance vision incorporating a convex aspherical front surface are provided. The front surface of the invention is described mathematically as an inside-out conicoid. the inside-out conicoidal surface, when used in conjunction with a concave spherical or toroidal back surface, provides a lens having improved off-axis optical performance and reduced thickness and flatness characteristics relative to prior art lenses of the same back vertex power and refractive index.
