Abstract text


Presbyopic contact lenses that provide improved vision quality by use of optical zones which are not symmetric about the lens optical axis. The contact lens includes an optic body sized and configured to be received in an eye (or eyes) of a presbyopic patient having a front surface with a front optical center and a back surface with a back optical center, and having a lens optical axis intersecting the front surface at the front optical center and the back surface at the back optical center, and having optical zones which are not symmetric about the lens optical axis. The lens construction produces an asymmetric point spread function which enables any resulting asymmetric stray light to be steered in a predetermined direction.
