New "enhanced" multifocal lens from PixelOptics

[rinselberg]

The new atLast! is described as an "enhanced" multifocal lens offering four zones of vision: Distance, Far Intermediate, Intermediate and Near. A power gradient is combined with an embedded power segment. The circular boundary line is said to be cosmetically invisible, meaning that the wearer sees it but that to anyone else it's invisible. The lens is made of a composite material formed by molecular bonding of a 1.67 monomer and Trivex (1.53). The target market consists of current bifocal and trifocal lens users, as well as progressive non-adapts and progressive wearers who want a second pair with more intermediate vision.

Doubt that these lenses will be very successful but they are exploring some interesting uses for this technology.
