Abstract:
The invention relates to a method (20) for correcting an individual behaviour for using a pair of spectacles in optimized conditions, said individual wearing frame (4). According to the invention said method comprises the following steps:—a step (24) of determining parameters that characterize the behavioural conditions of the individual using correcting means securely fastened to the frame of the frame (4) in the preceding various situations for a set time;—a step (26) of comparing said parameters with preset reference values; and—a step (28) of correcting the behaviour of the individual using detecting means (1) that are securely fastened to the said frame (4), and that trigger when the difference between a parameter and the corresponding reference value diverges beyond a preset threshold value.
Abstract:
System, ophthalmic lens, and method for extending depth of focus includes an optic having a clear aperture disposed about a central axis. The optic includes a first surface and an opposing second surface. The first and second surfaces are configured to introduce an asymmetric aberration to the eye while maintaining the in-focus visual acuity.
Abstract:
A spectacle lens is disclosed. The disclosed lens provides a vision correcting area for the correction of a wearer's refractive error. The viewing correction area provides correction for non-conventional refractive error to provide at least a part of the wearer's vision correction. The lens has a prescription based on a wave front analysis of the wearer's eye and the lens can further be modified to fit within an eyeglass frame.
Abstract:
A method for treating a patient having a vestibular malady is provided. The method comprises (a) diagnosing the patient as having a vestibular malady; and (b) prescribing eyewear to the patient as a treatment of the vestibular malady, either alone or in conjunction with undertaking vestibular rehabilitation while wearing the eyewear. The eyewear (201) has a first lens (205) which extends over the field of vision of a first eye, wherein the first lens has first (207) and second (209) distinct optical regions. The eyewear imparts vision to the first eye which is characterized by a central vision having a first optical quality and a peripheral vision having a second optical quality.

Abstract:
Methods and devices are provided to obtain refractive correction with superior visual acuity (e.g., 20/10) by achieving an astigmatism-free customized refractive correction. The astigmatism-free customized refractive correction involves obtaining an objective and precise measurement of cylindrical power in a resolution between 0.01 D and 0.10 D in an eye using an objective aberrometer, reliably relating the cylindrical axis obtained from the objective aberrometer to that in a phoroptor, determining an optimized focus error of an eye through subjective refraction with a phoroptor, generating a customized refraction by combining the objective measured cylindrical power, the objective measured cylindrical axis, and the subjectively measured focus power, fabricating a custom lens with a tolerance finer than 0.09 D based on the generated customized refraction, and delivering an ophthalmic lens that can provide an astigmatism-free refractive correction for an eye.

This invention is related to an optical article, such as an ophthalmic lens, comprising a an acrylic substrate (1) coated with a specific hard-coat (2) formed from a composition comprising a hydrolyzed alkoxysilane, a colloidal metal oxide and a poly-glyceryl ether.
Abstract:
Method for the recovery and repair of eyesight through which out of the two eyes the weaker eye in need of repair or recovery is determined; both eyes are assigned an optical element influencing the passage of the incident light; the path of the light reaching the eye is periodically interrupted, thereby forcing the eye to perform additional focusing activity, so that transparency characteristics of the optical element assigned to the chosen or designated eye are left unchanged, and the transparency characteristics of the optical element assigned to the other eye are modulated so that the passage of incident light into the other eye is blocked and then unblocked with a frequency in the 0.2 Hz to 0.8 Hz range.Corrective eyeglass composed of an eyeglass frame designed for holding and positioning the eyeglass on the head; containing two fixed optical elements influencing the passage of the received light, a control unit exerting temporal control over the optical characteristics of said optical element, and one power supply unit supplying at least one optical element and at least one control unit with electrical energy, wherein the optical element influencing the passage of incident light is embodied as a controlled light shutter, at least one control unit is electrically connected to the control unit, and said control unit is embodied as a control unit influencing the optical characteristics of at least one optical element based on a pre-defined controlling signal and providing asymmetric control with a frequency in the range of 0.2 Hz to 0.8 Hz to the optical elements.

A method, system and apparatus for vision correction are disclosed. The method, system and apparatus include a toric intraocular element for correcting astigmatism and having a cylinder power, and a depth of focus extender coupled to the toric intraocular element, the depth of focus extender extending a depth of focus. The extended depth of focus may reduce sensitivity of the toric intraocular element to at least one of rotation and selected cylinder power.
Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a lens including a lens body and an optical filter configured to attenuate visible light in certain spectral bands. At least some of the spectral bands can include spectral features that tend to substantially increase the colorfulness, clarity, and/or vividness of a scene. In certain embodiments, eyewear incorporates an optical filter that enhances chroma within one or more spectral bands. In some embodiments, a wearer of the eyewear can perceive the increase in chroma when viewing at least certain types of scenes.
