An ophthalmic lens isdisclosed, one embodimentcomprising an optic having an anteriorsurface and a posterior surface disposedabout an optical axis, wherein at leastone of the surfaces has a profilecharacterized by superposition of a baseprofile and an auxiliary profile, theauxiliary profile comprising acontinuous pattern of surface deviationsfrom the base profile. The auxiliaryprofile is a sinusoidal profile and canbe amplitude modulated, frequencymodulated or both amplitude andfrequency modulated. The ophthalmiclens can be an IOL.
