The fitting point of a spectacle lens is as defined in ISO 13666: 2019 (E) , section 3.2.34, a point on the front surface (3.2.13) of a lens (3.5.2) or blank (3.8.1) stipulated by the manufacturer for positioning the lens in front of the eye.
A “uniform width of more ring-shaped structures or of more ring-shaped diffusing structures” designates an expansion of each of said more ring-shaped structures or of each of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures along a direction perpendicular to their respective circumferential direction as determined between respective onsets of each of said more ring-shaped structures or of each of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures. A “respective onset of each of said more ring-shaped structures” represents each inner onset of each ring-shaped structure of said more ring-shaped structures, i.e., each first position and each outer onset of each ring-shaped structure of said more ring-shaped structures, i.e., each last position in which a surface of said one ring-shaped structure deviates from a surface, each preferably in the sense of surface shape, form or topography, of a lens surface of a digital twin of a spectacle lens or a spectacle lens, each comprising said more ring-shaped structure, along the direction of the respective uniform widths of said more ring-shaped structures. An ” onset of one ring-shaped diffusing structure” represents each inner onset, i.e., each first position, and each outer onset, i.e., each last position, in which each of said more ring-shaped diffusing structure changes a calculated transmission of digital twin of a spectacle lens or a
transmission of a spectacle lens, along the direction of the respective uniform widths of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures.
A uniform width of each of said more ring-shaped structures or of each of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures may alternatively comprise that in each tangential direction an expansion of each ring-shaped structure of said more ring-shaped structure or each ring-shaped diffusing structure of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures each limited by a respective inner onset and a respective outer onset is of a same or uniform width. A tangential direction shall be any direction from an optical centre or a fitting point of the digital twin of the spectacle lens or the spectacle lens radially outwards.
A “central zone” is a domain of a lens surface, i.e., a front surface and/or a back surface, of a digital twin of a spectacle lens or a spectacle lens not comprising one or more ring-shaped structure (s) or not comprising one or more ring-shaped diffusing structure (s) . One ring-shaped structure or an innermost of said more ring-shaped structures is adjacent to said central zone, thereby encircling said central zone. Alternatively, one ring-shaped diffusing structure or an innermost of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures is adjacent to said central zone, thereby encircling said central zone. Preferably, said central zone comprise at least one of an optical centre and a fitting point of the digital twin of the spectacle lens or the spectacle lens.
A “central zone width” is a maximum expansion of a domain of said central zone on a lens surface of a digital twin of a spectacle lens or a spectacle lens, i.e., a respective front surface and/or a respective back surface thereof, limited by two inner onsets of one ring-shaped structure or one ring-shaped diffusing structure in opposite tangential directions or limited by two inner onsets of an innermost ring-shaped structure of more ring-shaped structures or by two inner onset of an innermost ring-shaped diffusing structure of more ring-shaped diffusing structures in opposite tangential directions.
Alternatively, a central zone width may be a maximum expansion of a domain of said central zone on a lens surface of a digital twin of a spectacle lens or a spectacle lens, i.e., a respective front surface and/or a respective back surface thereof, limited by the respective before mentioned two inner onsets along each line through an optical centre or a fitting point of the spectacle lens.
A central zone with a central zone width within a range of 6 mm to 9.4 mm has the advantage that a small central zone, e.g., 6 mm increases the probable efficacy of the spectacle lens for the reduction of progression of myopia for the wearer. At the same time said small central zone decreases the acceptance of the spectacle lens by the wearer due to the decreased comfort of wearability of the spectacle lens. A large central zone, e.g., 9.4 mm decreases the probable efficacy of the spectacle lens for the reduction of progression of myopia for the wearer. At the same time said large central zone increases the acceptance of the spectacle lens by the wearer due to the increased comfort of wearability of the spectacle lens.
A “surface-based fill factor” is determined by a surface area ratio of a surface area of an innermost ring-shaped structure of more ring-shaped structures and a sum of said surface area of said said innermost ring-shaped structure of said more ring-shaped structures and a surface area of a
peripheral zone. A “surface-based fill factor” is determined by a surface area ratio of a surface area of an innermost ring-shaped diffusing structure of more ring-shaped diffusing structures and a sum of said surface area of said innermost ring-shaped diffusing structure of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures and a surface area of a peripheral zone.
In case a lens surface of a digital twin of a spectacle lens or a lens surface of a spectacle lens, i.e., a respective front surface and/or a respective back surface thereof, comprises one ring-shaped structure or one ring-shaped diffusing structure, a “peripheral zone” is additionally to a central zone a further domain of the respective lens surface, not comprising one or more ring-shaped structure (s) or not comprising one or more ring-shaped diffusing structure (s) .

closest neighbouring ring-shaped diffusing structure of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures. The respective outer onset line passes along each outer onset of said innermost ring-shaped structure or each outer onset of said innermost ring-shaped diffusing structure, the respective outer onset line is thereby surrounded by said peripheral zone. The respective inner onset line passes along each inner onset of said closest neighbouring ring-shaped structure or each inner onset of said closest neighbouring ring-shaped diffusing structure, the respective inner onset line thereby limiting an expansion of said peripheral zone.
In case an innermost ring-shaped structure, optionally of said more ring-shaped structures, is closest neighbouring a ring-shaped diffusing-structure, optionally of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures, or in case an innermost ring-shaped diffusing structure, optionally of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures, is closest neighbouring a ring-shaped structure, optionally of said more ring-shaped structures, the before given definition for a peripheral zone in case of more ring-shaped structures or more ring-shaped diffusing structures shall apply analogously.

A surface-based fill factor greater than 59.2%results in a decrease of comfortable wearability of the spectacle lens but increases the probable efficacy of the spectacle lens for the reduction of progression of myopia for the wearer. A surface-based fill factor smaller than 56.1%results in a decrease of the probable efficacy of the spectacle lens for the reduction of progression of myopia for the wearer but increases the comfortable wearability of the spectacle lens. In other words, a well-defined balance between the wearability and the manufacturing of the inventive spectacle lens is achieved with a surface-based fill factor in the range of 34.6-59.2%. In particular, a surface-based fill factor of 46.4 to 47.7%is preferred.

The above-described problem is fully solved by a digital twin of a spectacle lens described in the forgoing. Since the intended wearers of a respective spectacle lens are children, a higher level of comfort and wearability prevent the children from removing the spectacle lens.

(ii) said central zone width (cw110, cw210, cw310, …) is larger than 7 mm and lower than or equal to 9.4 mm.
Reference is made to the before given explanation for said selection.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the digital twin of the spectacle lens configured for the purpose of manufacturing the spectacle lens is characterized in that one ring-shaped structure or each of said more ring-shaped structures provide (s) a surface power to said digital twin which is different to a surface power of a lens surface comprising said one or more ring-shaped structure (s) outside a domain occupied by said ring-shaped structure (s) , within at least one range of the following group of ranges:

A difference in surface power between 10 dioptres and 12 dioptres preferably increases the probable efficacy of the respective spectacle lens for a reduction of progression of myopia for a wearer. A difference in surface power between 6 dioptres and 8 dioptres preferably increases a comfortable wearability of a respective spectacle lens. In other words, a well-defined balance between wearability and
manufacturing of the respective spectacle lens is achieved with a difference in surface power in the range of 6 dioptres to 12 dioptres.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the digital twin of the spectacle lens configured for the purpose of manufacturing the spectacle lens is characterized in that a variable width of at least one of the group consisting of one ring-shaped structure, more ring-shaped structures, preferably each ring-shaped structure of said more ring-shaped structures, one ring-shaped diffusing structure and more ring-shaped diffusing structures, preferably each ring-shaped diffusing structure of said more ring-shaped diffusing structures varies within at least one range of the following group of ranges:

(vii) said variable width varies in a range of larger than 0.2 mm and equal or lower than 0.5 mm;
(viii) said variable width varies in a range of larger than 0.3 mm and equal or lower than 0.5 mm.
A variable width within any one of the before mentioned ranges has the beneficial effect to define a well-defined balance between wearability and manufacturing of a respective spectacle lens in each ring-shaped structure having a variable width or in each ring-shaped diffusing structure having a variable width. A decrease of the variable width within each ring-shaped structure or within each ring-shaped diffusing structure leads to a more comfortable wearability whereas an increase of the variable width within each ring-shaped structure or within each ring-shaped diffusing structure enables easier manufacturing of the respective spectacle lens.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the digital twin of the spectacle lens configured for the purpose of manufacturing the spectacle lens is characterized in that one ring-shaped structure having a variable surface power or each ring-shaped structure of more ring-shaped structures having a variable surface power provide a variable surface power to said digital twin which is different to a surface power of a lens surface comprising said one or more ring-shaped structure (s) having said variable surface power outside a domain occupied by said one or more ring-shaped structure (s) having said variable surface power, varying within at least one range of the following group of ranges:

A difference in surface power varying within one ring-shaped structure having a variable surface power or within each ring-shaped structure of more ring-shaped structures having a variable surface power as in the selected ranges given before has the beneficial effect to further define a balance
between wearability and manufacturing of a respective spectacle lens. A difference in surface power varying between 10 dioptres and 12 dioptres within one ring-shaped structure having a variable surface power or within each ring-shaped structure of more ring-shaped structures having a variable surface power preferably increases the probable efficacy of the respective spectacle lens for a reduction of progression of myopia for a wearer. A difference in surface power between 6 dioptres and 8 dioptres within one ring-shaped structure having a variable surface power or within each ring-shaped structure of more ring-shaped structures having a variable surface power preferably increases a comfortable wearability of a respective spectacle lens. In other words, a well-defined balance between wearability and manufacturing of the respective spectacle lens is achieved with a difference in surface power varying in the range of 6 dioptres to 12 dioptres within one ring-shaped structure having a variable surface power or within each ring-shaped structure of more ring-shaped structures having a variable surface power.

The subjects of a study evaluated said calculated design characteristics of said digital twin in a range from 1 to 10, wherein 10 equals to best possible wearability of respective a spectacle lens and 1 equals to the worst possible wearability of a respective spectacle lens. A satisfaction of wearability greater or equal to 4.0 is considered as sufficient, hence children would probably accept such spectacle lenses with said satisfaction of wearability and would probably not to tend to dismiss the respective spectacle lens.
The lenses 1 to 9 in table 1 are therefore examples of a digital twin of a spectacle lens and a respective spectacle lens whereas spectacle lenses 10 to 16 are considered as reference spectacle lenses for the spectacle lenses 1 to 9 in reference to the satisfaction of wearability.
