A decentered type contact lens including: an optical zone provided in a center part of the contact lens; a peripheral zone provided on an outer circumference of the optical zone; an optical center of the optical zone being set to deviate from a lens geometric center; and a circumferential direction alignment mechanism for setting a lens circumferential direction position in a worn state, the contact lens being characterized in that: a center-of-gravity deviation in relation to the lens geometric center is set for the peripheral zone, and a center-of-gravity position shift accompanying deviation of the optical center of the optical zone in relation to the lens geometric center is corrected by offset using the center-of-gravity deviation of the peripheral zone.

Decentered type contact lens and decentered type contact lens set

The present invention provides a contact lens having novel myopia progression suppression capability, while enabling a good QOV to be obtained and ensuring myopia is kept from progressing. A contact lens having a refractive correction power for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism set in a central region of an optical part, wherein a positive addition power in comparison with a power in the central region is set in a peripheral region of the optical part so that progression of the myopia or myopic astigmatism is suppressed, a positioning member is provided that specifies a circumferential position of the lens under a worn condition, and a lens optical axis of the optical part is set offset from a lens geometric center to align with a line of sight of a human eye under the worn condition produced by the positioning member.
