    摘要: An objective of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a soft ocular lens in which the surface of the lens is hydrophilized by means of plasma processing, wherein a substrate surface can be sufficiently hydrophilized by performing, once, a reaction between the substrate and a hydrophilic polymer. Another object of the present invention is to provide a soft ocular lens with sufficient hydrophilicity which comprises only one layer comprising a hydrophilic polymer on a substrate surface. A substrate comprising a hydrocarbon group-containing polysiloxane is subjected to plasma processing with an inert gas such as nitrogen, to form a radical including Si—CH2 on the substrate surface, and produce radical rearrangement with a hydrophilic polymer, thereby causing the hydrophilic polymer to bind to the substrate surface by recombination of a radical generated in the hydrophilic polymer with the substrate.

    摘要: Eyewear dynamically adjusts viewing effects to match the wearer, the object or scene being viewed (luminance, color prominence, glare, visual blur/noise), other conditions: sensory parameters (gaze direction, focal length, eye gestures, other eye activity, other senses, wearer inputs), medical conditions, wearer location, environmental parameters, wearer activity, use by the wearer, the wearer's field of view. The eyewear can adjust visual features presented to the wearer, such as changes in refraction, polarization/shading, color, prismatic angles/functions, 3D displays. Eyewear can be tailored to form factor: glasses, contacts, RID, IOL, facemask/helmet, vehicles, windows, screens, scopes, AR/VR devices, nerve sensors, external devices. Eyewear can adjust refraction, polarization/shading, color filtering/injection, false coloring, color change; prismatic angles/functions. Eyewear can respond to wearer activity: police, military, firefighter, emergency responder, search and rescue, vehicle operation, sporting/theme-park events, viewing advertising/storefronts, conversation. Hybrid optimization of eyewear can be personalized to users.

    摘要: A contact lens having an electronic system is described herein to provide lens accommodation using a distance measurement determined from an ultrasound time of flight signal. In at least one embodiment, the contact lens includes an ultrasound module, a system controller, a timing circuit, and an actuator. In at least one embodiment, the ultrasound module includes at least one transducer configured to emit a sound pressure wave outwardly and receive a reflected sound pressure wave from an object. A timer may track an elapsed time between generation and detection of the sound pressure wave by the at least one transducer to determine the distance to the object. In at least one embodiment, lens accommodation is further achieved using a communication link between a pair of contact lenses to determine a convergence angle based on independent distance measurements generated by each contact lens.
