1. An ophthalmic lens, the lens including an optic zone centred on an optical axis, and a peripheral zone surrounding the optic zone, wherein within the optic zone, along each meridian in a first set of meridians, the lens has a first radial curvature power profile that varies continuously in a first radial direction from the optical axis to the peripheral zone, and along each meridian in a second, different set of meridians, the lens has a second, different radial curvature power profile that varies continuously in a second radial direction from the optical axis to the peripheral zone, wherein the first radial curvature power profile has an opposite shape to the second radial curvature power profile, wherein meridians from the first set of meridians and meridians from the second set of meridians form an alternating pattern around the lens, and wherein the angular spacing between each meridian in the first set of meridians is less than 5 degrees.
