Abstract

Disclosed is a single focus compound lens and a mold for manufacturing the single focus compound lens, where the single focus compound lens has a reading far point diopter lens and a reading near point diopter having different diopters that are integrally molded to have the same optical central point and the mold has the two divided areas with respect to the optical central point, each of the two areas forming an inner peripheral surface having a difference in curvature and thickness corresponding to the diopter difference, such that near distance works like reading or doing with a computer can be accomplished without any trouble and the fatigue of eyes caused due to the failure of correspondence of focuses can be prevented.

Claims (3)

1. A single focus compound lens comprising a reading far point diopter lens and a reading near point diopter lens having a diopter difference, each comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surfaces of the reading far point diopter lens and the reading near point diopter lens have an equal curvature, wherein the diopter difference between the reading far point diopter lens and the reading near point diopter lens compensates for a difference in curvature of the outer surfaces and thickness between the two lenses with respect to a single focus, and wherein the reading far point diopter lens and the reading near point diopter lens comprise a same optical central point.

2. A single focus compound lens according to claim 1 , wherein the diopter difference is in a range between 0.3 diopter and 1 diopter therebetween, the reading far point diopter lens and the reading near point diopter lens being integrally molded in such a manner that their focuses correspond to each other.

3. A single focus compound lens according to 2 , wherein the diopter difference between the reading far point diopter lens and the reading near point diopter lens is 0.5 diopter.
