Abstract: A head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. The optical assemblies may each have a display for generating an image and a lens that presents the image to a corresponding eye box for viewing by a user. The optical assemblies may have lens barrels. Each lens barrel may have a first end to which a display is mounted and may have an opposing second end. A mount may be used to attach the lens to the second end of the lens barrel. The mount may have at least one flexure. The flexure may have a U-shaped cross-sectional shape. The mount may have a ring-shaped flexure that extends around a peripheral edge of the lens, may have flexure segments, or may have a set of three discrete flexures located at different positions along the edge of the lens.

Abstract: A head-mounted device may include optical assemblies for presenting images to a user. Each optical assembly may have a support, a fixed lens mounted to the support, and a display configured to provide an image to an eye box through the fixed lens. Removable vision correction lenses may be used to correct for user vision defects such as nearsightedness. The vision correction lenses may be removably coupled to the optical assemblies. When coupled to the optical assemblies, the vision correction lenses overlap the fixed lenses. Each removable vision correction lens and corresponding optical assembly may have structures such as kinematic mount alignment protrusions and recesses configured to form a kinematic coupling. Debris mitigation features may be provided such as alignment structure debris covers, debris collection grooves, magnets for attracting debris, adhesive for gathering debris, and liquid drainage holes to facilitate washing to remove debris.
