A lens element worn in front of an eye of a person includes a refraction area having a refractive power based on a prescription for the eye of the person, and a plurality of at least three optical elements, wherein the optical elements are configured so that along at least one section of the lens the mean sphere of optical elements increases from a point of the section towards the peripheral part of the section.

Lens element

A lens element intended to be worn in front of an eye of a wearer having at least a first and a second set of optical elements providing respectively a first and a second optical function. When worn by a wearer, an optical element of the first set is located at a greater distance from the center of rotation of the eye than an optical element of the second set. At least some of the optical elements of the first set and the second set are disposed in a mutual relationship in such a way that, for at least one gaze direction, a first and a second cumulative optical effect are provided at the same time for respective at least first and second incoming light beams.
