Abstract

A diffractive eye lens having a front side, a rear side and an optical main axis, wherein the front side and/or the rear side has a spherical, an aspherical, a spherical-toric or an aspherical-toric basic shape, and the front side and/or the rear side has a diffractive optical structure. The diffractive eye lens allows for color correction and simultaneously improves visual properties by reducing a halo. The diffractive optical structure in a first lens region is designed such that, at a design wavelength, there is a significant diffraction efficiency for a phase deviation between the first main sub-zones of more than one wavelength and, for the first lens region, On average over all diffraction zones, a proportion of the main sub-zones on the diffraction zones is for example at least 94%, at least 95% and at best nearly 100%.
