Eyeglass retainer with extension

An eyeglass retainer system for use with eyeglasses worn by a user and having a frame front includes a pair of eyeglass temples. Each temple has a first end for securing the temple to frame front and defines a first channel passing therethrough that terminates in a first stopping mechanism. Extendable coupling units are slidably disposed in the first channels and terminate in a first stopper that is configured to engage the first stopping mechanism so as to prevent it from exiting the first channel completely. Two magnetic connectors are each affixed to a different one of the extendable coupling units and have opposite polarities so as to attract each other when placed against to each other. The coupling units are slid out of the first channel so that the two magnetic connectors can be coupled to each other behind the user's head so as to retain the eyeglasses.

Systems, devices, media, and methods are described for capturing a series of raw images by portable electronic devices, such as wearable devices including eyewear, and automating the process of processing such raw images by a client mobile device, such as a smart phone, such automation including the process of uploading to a network and directing to a target audience. In some implementations, a user selects profile settings on the client device before capturing images on the companion device, so that when the companion device has captured the images, the system follows the profile settings upon automatically processing the images captured by the companion device.

Eyeglass suspension device and method of moving eyeglasses off the nose utilizing the same
11300811 · 2022-04-12 ·

A device and method for lifting eyeglasses off a person's nose and supporting at least some of the weight of the eyeglasses. The device includes a base encircling part of the person's head. At least one support extends from the base and operatively engages an arm of the eyeglasses. The at least one support includes first and second front supports and first and second temporal supports. Each arm of the eyeglasses rests on an upper surface of one of the first and second front supports and under a lower surface of one of the first and second temporal supports. Each arm is counterbalanced between the associated front support and temporal support and is therefore lifted upwardly or forwardly off the person's nose and/or ears. The base may be adjustable in length. The position of the first and second temporal supports on the base may also be adjustable.

Eyewear retention devices, systems, and assemblies are shown and described. The eyewear retention device may comprise a pair of elongated securement points moveably attachable about a temple of an eyewear; a clip body having opposing apertures; and a pair of cords having an insert to removably fit within the opposing apertures. The result is an eyewear retention device to secure eyewear on a head of a user.

Earpiece-less glasses

A pair of temple-less glasses to allow the user to have unrestricted access to their face while still being able to maintain having their glasses, equipped with a prescription, in place. The temple-less glasses have a first eye unit and a second eye unit connected to a nose piece by way of an attachment mechanism. The attachment mechanism is present on both the first eye unit and the second eye unit. The attachment mechanism functions by slidably attaching the attachment element of each eye unit to an attachment bar located on the outer left and right edge of the nose piece.

Magnetic eyewear retainer system and method

Implementations of a magnetic eyewear retainer system and method are provided. In some implementations, the magnetic eyewear retainer system comprises eyewear temple magnets and a retainer necklace. In some implementations, the magnetic eyewear retainer system further comprises eyewear that includes the eyewear temple magnets. In some implementations, the magnetic eyewear retainer method comprises attaching the eyewear temple magnets to the temples of eyewear and magnetically connecting the eyewear to the retainer necklace with the eyewear temple magnets to retain the eyewear on a user's person while the eyewear is not being worn on the user's face.

Method and ophthalmic element for stimulating a non-visual physiological effect

A computed factor allows quantifying the efficiency of a light filter to stimulate a non-visual physiological effect which is responsive to light entering into a subject's eye. The efficiency factor is based on a spectral light transmittance of the filter over the wavelength visible range, on a spectral sensitivity profile of the non-visual physiological effect, and on a spectral distribution of the light which enters into the subject's eye without using the filter. Such efficiency factor is useful in particular for an ophthalmic element designed for stimulating a non-visual physiological effect which is based on melanopsin light-absorption.

FRAME FOR BIFOCAL EYEGLASSES
20210271106 · 2021-09-02 ·

A frame includes: a pair of temples; a connecting bar connecting respective ends of the pair of temples; at least one hanging shaft located at a middle of the connecting bar; nose pads fixed to the hanging shaft; a slide attached to the hanging shaft for a sliding movement; a pair of lens-holding frames vertically slidable in front of the connecting bar, the lens-holding frames being each configured to hold vertically arranged upper and lower lenses; and a bridge coupling the lens-holding frames. The bridge is attached at a level lower than a center of the lower lens in each of the lens-holding frames, and the lens-holding frames are slidable for a distance at least corresponding to a distance between a center of the upper lens and the center of the lower lens.

Head-Mounted Display With Adjustment Mechanism

A head-mounted display to be worn by a user includes a housing, and an eye chamber to be positioned adjacent to eyes of the user. A support assembly includes a headband and an adjustment mechanism that is operable to change fit of the headband relative to the head of the user in response to a control signal, wherein the adjustment mechanism includes a feedback component, and the control signal is generated based on output from the feedback component.

Eye-mountable device with muscle sensor

An ophthalmic device includes an enclosure, an electromyography sensor, and a controller. The enclosure is configured to mount in or on an eye. The enclosure further includes a first material and a second material disposed within the first material. The electromyography sensor is adapted to measure electrical activity of a muscle of the eye proximate to a first annular region of the ophthalmic device when the ophthalmic device is mounted in or on the eye. The electromyography sensor includes a first electrode and a second electrode, each positioned within the first annular region between the first material and at least a portion of the second material. The controller, coupled to the electromyography sensor, stores instructions that when executed causes the ophthalmic device to perform operations including acquiring a first signal representative of the electrical activity of the muscle by measuring the electrical activity with the electromyography sensor.
