An optical element may include two or more zones to perform functions in a head-mounted display (HMD) device. An optical component may include a first optical zone characterized by a first sag profile to correct a refractive error of an eye of a user and a second optical zone characterized by a second sag profile to redirect a path of an illumination light beam. A transition zone located between the first optical zone and the second optical zone may provide a smooth transition between the first optical zone and the second optical zone.

Zonal lenses for a head-mounted display (HMD) device

An apparatus, system, and method for a lens assembly for a head-mounted device includes a frame and a lens assembly. The lens assembly is configured to be carried by the frame. The lens assembly includes a lens bulk, an edge thickness, and a power layer. The edge thickness includes a predetermined thickness value that is configured to be compatible with (e.g., a slot in) the frame. The power layer is configured to be set to one of a number of predetermined power levels while maintaining the edge thickness within the predetermined thickness value. The power layer is configured to define a course power level of the lens assembly (e.g., in the range of −6.00 D to +6.00 D).
