ABSTRACT:
In a progressive power lens has a farsight portion having a refracting power corresponding to a distant view, a nearsight portion having a refracting power corresponding to a near view, and an intermediate portion for continuously and smoothly connecting the refracting powers of the farsight and nearsight portions between the two portions along a principal meridional curve, when the intermediate portion as a progressive power range is shortened, optimal shapes of respective portions are found out in terms of a vertical sectional shape of a refracting surface, and an aberration blance in the overall refracting surface is optimized.
