Computer eyewear for reducing the effects of Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). In one embodiment, the eyewear comprises a frame and two lenses. In some embodiments, the frame and lenses have a wrap-around design to reduce air flow in the vicinity of the eyes. The lenses can have optical power in the range of approximately +0.5 to +2.5 diopters for reducing accommodation demands on a user's eyes when using a computer. The lenses can also include prismatic power for reducing convergence demand on a user's eyes when sitting at a computer. The lenses can also include a partially transmissive mirror coating, tinting, and anti-reflective coatings. In one embodiment, a partially transmissive mirror coating or tinting spectrally filters light to remove spectral peaks in fluorescent or incandescent lighting. |

Methods of fabricating and prescribing lenses suitable for color blindness and dyslexia correction are disclosed. The corrective lens may be formed of an optically transparent base material, which is tinted to a desired color for correction by immersion in a colorant dye. The color tinted lens is then tinted by a neutral tint dye to render the lens observable as a regular corrective lens. Prescription of such lenses may be based on a dynamically balanced, or haploscopic, fashion of prescription that comprises selecting a first visual filter from a set of sixteen filters and a second visual filter from the remaining set of fifteen filters, the first for the dominant eye and the second for non-dominant eye. |

Accommodative and vergence systems training method and multifocal ophthalmic lenses of Horizontal periodic or quasi-periodic Optical Power Stepless Alternating (HOPSA-lenses) therefor are proposed. Reading the text with HOPSA-lenses worn, while the head is stationary, provides a continuous alternating of accommodation and vergence strain/relaxation and, therefore, provides dynamic training of both systems. The method is applicable for human visual system therapy, eye diseases treatment/prevention and ophthalmology researches. The method enables combining the effective visual trainings with documents reading/processing, visual target examining, watching TV/video, playing computer games, etc., as well as combining the training with conventional vision correction. Several embodiments of HOPSA-lenses are disclosed, such as multi- and mono-cyclic, multi-layer, splitting the basic correction and training functions between lens' sides or layers, having left and right lenses' surfaces individually configured to provide the congruence of optical power for fixation, and/or the convergence invariability for fixation during the training. |

A method and apparatus for correcting vision in macular degeneration patients. Following a diagnostic procedure which has been successfully tested to determine the factors needed to correct the vision of a patient with macular degeneration, the present invention describes a prototype correcting procedure and device using a computer program and display device. Through manipulation of a grid and quantitative analysis of the manipulations, the extent and correction factors needed to correct the vision of a macular degeneration patient are discussed. |

Embodiments of the present invention relate to eyewear having an electrically switchable spectral transmittance lens(es). The eyewear includes a lens driver that controls the variable spectral transmittance lens(es). The lens driver is functional to alter a duration of a spectral transmittance state based on a desired frequency and/or duty cycle of the spectral transmittance state. A user may provide an input indicating the desired level of difficulty provided by the eyewear, wherein the input may indicate that the frequency, the duty cycle, or a combination of the two should be changed. As a result of changing a perceived level of difficulty presented by the eyewear, a wearer of the eyewear may train his or her visual abilities to provide a competitive advantage |

An eyeglass lens and manufacturing method using epoxy aberrator includes two lenses with a variable index material, such as epoxy, sandwiched in between. The epoxy is then cured to different indexes of refraction that provide precise corrections for the patient's wavefront aberrations. The present invention further provides a method to produce an eyeglass that corrects higher order aberrations, such as those that occur when retinal tissue is damaged due to glaucoma or macular degeneration. The manufacturing method allows for many different applications including, but not limited to, supervision and transition lenses. |

Specially designed soft contact patch for treating amblyopia (lazy eye) in children and possibly adults is disclosed. A soft contact patch designed such that its pupil section is opaque and essentially black or tinted dark and its iris section surrounding the pupil section is large enough to snugly fit the eye under the eyelid and is either transparent or colored to show or match the natural color of the eye, and it is perforated and porous to allow oxygenating the iris and the sclera, so that for selected portions of time the stronger eye may be occluded. Thus, the stronger eye can be occluded for a desirable period of time to force the weaker amblyopic eye to work harder and become stronger in time to correct amblyopia. |
