1. A method for reducing progression of refractive error comprising the steps of:

  • providing an optical vision treatment device comprising a vision treatment zone and at least one vision priority zone;

    wherein said vision treatment zone is configured with a predetermined first optical design, said first optical design selected to effect control of forward-backward positions of peripheral off-axis focal points relative to a retina;

    said control of positions of peripheral off-axis focal points producing at least one substantially corrective stimulus for influencing progression of refractive error while substantially simultaneously controlling the forward-backward position of a central on-axis focal point near to near the retina and substantially simultaneously providing clear on-axis images; and

    wherein said vision priority zone is configured with a predetermined second optical design;

    said second optical design selected to control, for at least one direction of gaze a condition selected from the group consisting of;

    peripheral defocus and other optical aberrations.
