Disclosed herein is a method of alleviating symptoms of ocular surface discomfort, the method comprising: topically applying a cold slurry adjacent to a corneal limbus of an eye of a patient, wherein the cold slurry comprises water and a freezing point depressant, wherein the topical application of the cold slurry is configured to cause a degree of numbing of a cornea of the eye for a period of time, and wherein an ocular sensation of the eye is restored following the period of time.

A component of a frame for eyeglasses includes a body made of composite material, the peculiarity of which relates to the body having at least one first region and at least two second regions. The first region includes a three-dimensional shape with at least two dimensions that are larger than the dimensions of the at least two second regions. Thus, the configuration defines, along the body, portions with different flexibilities.

An electronic eyewear viewing device including a display module having a microdisplay for viewing images. The microdisplay can have an exit window aligned along a first lateral axis L.sub.1. The display module can have a pivot joint along a second lateral axis L.sub.2 parallel to and spaced apart from the first lateral axis L.sub.1. The display module can be rotatable about the pivot joint. A lateral position adjustment screw can be mounted and rotatably secured to the display module for laterally adjusting position of the display module. A rotational position adjustment screw can be mounted along a transverse axis that is transverse to the second lateral axis L.sub.2 and rotatably secured to the display module at a location offset from the second lateral axis L.sub.2 for adjusting rotational position of the display module about the pivot joint along the second lateral axis L.sub.2.

A sheet for manufacturing articles, particularly frames for glasses and the like, including at least one technical layer made of a thermoplastic material interposed between a first aesthetic layer and a second aesthetic layer, both made of a material such as fabric. A method for producing a sheet for manufacturing articles includes the steps of providing at least one technical layer made of a material such as thermoplastic polymers and at least two aesthetic layers made of a material such as fabric and associating the technical layer with the aesthetic layers. The layers are mutually compressed and then heated to obtain the sheet.

Eyewear for releasably receiving a lens has a joint sleeve for holding the lens in place.

A method produces a spectacle arm that has an arm body (1) made of plastics material and a metal support inlay (3), in which method the arm body (1) is manufactured additively with a receiving recess for the support inlay (3) and then the support inlay (3) is introduced into the receiving recess of the arm body (1). The arm body (1) is manufactured additively with a longitudinal groove (2) as the receiving recess, which extends at least along a portion of the arm body, and the longitudinal groove (2) with the introduced support inlay (3) is injected with plastics material.

A blink acceleration device (1) includes: a number of blinks calculation unit (141) that calculates the number of blink operations per unit time of a monitoring target person; and a tactile stimulus operation unit (12) that performs an operation of stimulating eyelashes as a tactile stimulus operation for the monitoring target person when the number calculated by the number of blinks calculation unit is less than a preset threshold.

Eyeglasses with a changeable frame are revealed. The eyeglasses include an upper frame and a lower frame. The upper frame and the lower frame have a lens assembly portion and a lens assembly part, respectively. The upper frame and the lower frame are disposed with locking slots and projections respectively. The projections are corresponding to and joined with the locking slots. The upper frame and the lower frame are connected into one part by locking protrusions of the projection into the concaves of the locking slots correspondingly. Thus users can assemble or disassemble the upper frame with the lower frame for changing the eyeglasses into half-frame eyeglasses or full-frame eyeglasses.

Process for making a temple for an eyeglass frame, which comprises: a step of arranging an elongated body made of plastic material; a first heating step, in which the elongated body is heated up to its softening temperature; a step of housing the elongated body in a shaped concavity of a mold; a second step of heating a metallic core; a step of inserting the metallic core in the elongated body. In addition, the housing step is preceded by a step of positioning an ornamental element in a seat provided within the shaped concavity of the mold, in which the ornamental element is retained by means of shape coupling,
