<p>Researchers have developed a spiral-shaped lens that maintains clear focus at different distances in varying light conditions. The new lens , described in Optica, works much like progressive lenses used for vision correction but without the distortions typically seen with those lenses. It could help advance contact lens technologies, intraocular implants for cataracts and miniaturized imaging systems.</p>
