、眼球上での動きが悪くなる等の問題を有する。-Non-water-containing soft contact lenses have a stable standard shape and are easy to handle, and because they are made of soft materials, they are as comfortable to wear as water-containing soft contact lenses. However, due to the inappropriate shape of the contact lens, it becomes stuck to the eyeball, resulting in problems such as poor movement on the eyeball.

This lens consists of an optical range part 8, an intermediate range part 8A, and an outer peripheral range part 10, which have different radii of curvature, thickness, etc., and the optical range part 8 has a rear surface 1 and a front surface 4 of the optical range part, which have different radii of curvature. The intermediate range part 8A has a curved surface, and has a rear surface 2 and a front surface 5 of the intermediate range having different radii of curvature, and the outer peripheral range 10 has a rear surface 3 and a front surface 6 of the outer peripheral range having different radii of curvature.

本発明において、光学範囲部後面1の曲率半径(R1)

トレンズを装着する個人の眼球に合わせて選択される。In the present invention, the radius of curvature (R1) of the rear surface 1 of the optical range section
ranges from 7.2 to 8.4 m, which is selected depending on the eye of the individual wearing the contact lens.

やすく、外観上目立ち、また異物感を生じやすくなる。Next, the radius of curvature (R2) of the rear surface 2 of the intermediate range section is determined by R1 + 0.5 based on the radius of curvature (R1) of the rear surface 1 of the optical range section.
~R1+1.2 fins, i.e. 7.7 to 9.6 fins. The radius of curvature (R
If 2) is too small, a large amount of lachrymal fluid will accumulate between the eyeball and the contact lens, which will cause decompression to occur, resulting in a suction cup state, and the lens will tend to stick. If it is too large, the intermediate region will rise above the foot gland, making it easy for air to enter, making it noticeable in appearance and giving a feeling of being a foreign body.

が悪くなる。The radius of curvature (R3) of the rear surface 3 of the outer circumferential range part is in the range of 11 to 15 squares, but if this radius of curvature is too small, the curve of the rear surface of the outer circumferential range part 10 will cut inward, and the entire contact lens will be damaged. is pushed forward and becomes a little tight,
A gap tends to form between the contact lens and the eyeball. For this reason, the contact lens tends to deform when blinking, and the residual force tends to cause the contact lens to stick to the eyeball like a suction cup. Furthermore, if the radius of curvature (R3) is too large, the palmar membrane and the outer periphery of the contact lens will be wide open, which is unfavorable in appearance, and will float, making it uncomfortable to wear.

形状が得られなくなる。The diameter of the optical range part 8 in the present invention is 7 to 11 mm, but when this diameter is 7 mm without grooves, the optical performance may be affected, such as narrowing the field of view or overlapping images. be. If it exceeds 1ine, the periphery of this optical range overlaps the foot gland, making it impossible to obtain a shape of the posterior surface of the contact lens that is compatible with the cornea.

、使いにくくなる。Further, the outer peripheral range part 10 has a length of 0.2 to 1.0 +n, but when this length is less than 0.2 mm, the contact surface between the back surface of the contact lens and the palmar membrane becomes small. , the cornea and contact lens are more likely to stick together. Moreover, if the size exceeds 1.0, the periphery of the contact lens will touch the periphery of the cornea, and the contact lens will become larger, making it difficult to use.

This range is 0. When I is less than 8,
Since the peripheral portion becomes excessively thin, the contact lens becomes significantly deformed and the contact lens tends to stick to the eyeball. Moreover, if it exceeds 0.5 cranes, it becomes easy to irritate the eyeballs, and the sensitivity to foreign objects increases. The peripheral thickness 7 of the outer circumferential range part 10 indicates the shortest length from the contact point of the intermediate range part rear surface (2) and the outer circumferential range part rear surface (3) to the outer circumferential range part front surface 6.

0.1mmである。In other components of the contact lens, the radius of curvature of the optical region front surface 40 is also determined by the refractive power of the lens. The radius of curvature of the arc of the front surface 6 of the outer circumferential range part is determined by the inscribed circle whose radius is the thickness 7 of the outer circumferential range part 10 and the radius of curvature (6) of the edge of the contact lens. The radius of curvature (R-) of the edge of this contact lens is usually 0.03 to
It is 0.1 mm.

囲部前面6の決定により自ずと決定される。Further, the intermediate range front surface 5 is naturally determined by determining the optical range front surface 4 and the outer peripheral range front surface 6.

いるという種々の利点が得られる。According to the present invention, since the soft contact lenses are made from a non-hydroscopic soft material, there is no need for boiling sterilization like with conventional water-containing soft contact lenses, and they are difficult to wear like hard contact lenses. It is easy to wear, and its shape matches the shape of the eyeball as much as possible, so it is comfortable to wear, and the exchange of lachrymal fluid is smooth, so it does not cause corneal damage. Various advantages can be obtained in that the wearing comfort is the same and superior regardless of the power of the lens.
