ABSTRACT:
A multifocal artificial ocular lens has at least two corrective areas, namely a near vision area to correct near vision and a distance vision area to correct distance vision. The transparency of the lens varies in inverse proportion to its illumination. A photochromic substance is incorporated into the material of the lens, which improves optical performance. Applications include central near vision contact lenses.
