A multifocal ophthalmic device is disclosed, wherein the lens body comprises a curcuminoid compound as a UV-light stabilizer, and/or a co-polymeric composition which is derived from a pre-polymerization mixture of defined monomers. The lens body of the multifocal ophthalmic device is being formed with a plurality of concentric annular zones, which effect both diffraction and refraction of incident light, and which are separated by slanted steps that are substantially devoid of any diffractive or refractive power.
