ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an aspherical spectacle lens blank. The lens blank is generally circular in shape and includes a central circular zone which is surrounded by three or more concentric outer zones. For a plus power lens, the outer zones decrease in diopter refraction and, conversely, for a minus power lens, the outer zones increase in diopter refraction from the central zone and to the outer peripheral zone. The lens blank of the present invention is lighter and thinner than the previously known spectacle lens blanks.
