Single Vision (SV) lens designs

Standard - Spherical (SPH) SV lenses
Optimised by using only one free parameter in the lens radius.
Peripheral rays are more strongly refracted than rays at lens centre (spherical aberrations) resulting in optical compromise.
Any acceptably flat lens results in peripheral blur for the wearer.
Good - Aspherical (AS) SV lenses
Optimised by using five free parameters in one meridian.
One aspherical surface, usually on the front, but the back surface remains a simple toric (two spheres at 90°).
Provides optics similar to SPH, while improving on flatness.
When sph and cyl power increase, the same constraints result in increasing optical errors.
Better - Double Aspherical (DAS) SV lenses
Optimised using nine free parameters in two perpendicular meridians and blended in between.
Replaces the toric back surface of an AS with two aspherical shapes perpendicular to each other (atoric).
Improvement on an AS design, but blended area still compromises the optics.
Best - Freeform SV lenses
Point-by-point lens design optimisation using 700 free parameters for a highly complex lens surface.
The result is an SV lens that is both very flat and thin and achieves excellent optics – with clear viewing from the lens centre to the periphery.
