An augmented reality display device including a vision correction lens includes an optical combining element disposed to be inclined with respect to an eyeglass, a virtual image supply unit supplying a virtual image to the optical combining element, and a vision correction lens (frequency clip) disposed to be inclined with respect to the eyeglass. The vision correction lens and the optical combining element may be disposed parallel to each other with the same inclination angle.

An eyewear system for supporting lenses in front of a person's eyes includes a resilient or malleable frame having two opposing ends each fixed with a lower frame and an upper frame that each include two rims mutually affixed at a central bridge. The frame further includes two elongated temples that project rearwardly away from the frame, and two nose pad mounts with nose pads that each projects rearwardly away from one of the lower rims. As such, with the lenses each engaged with the rims, the lower rims and the upper rims sandwich and retain the lenses therebetween. A bridge coupler attaches with the upper bridge and the lower bridge to lock together the relative position of the upper bridge and the lower bridge to retain the lenses within the frame. Interchangeable parts can attach to the nose pad mounts, frame and temples to provide a unique appearance.

People with (AMD) Adult Macular Degeneration have great difficulty seeing, because their damaged retina sees double vision and distortion. The vision loss is a deterioration of light sensing cells of the retina. Direct or reflecting sunlight and headlights cause extreme glaring and distortion. There are magnifying binocular-fitted eyeglasses for precise detail, and an eye patch, which entirely blocks out all vision, which puts strain and pressure on the dominant eye. Not much is offered to block bright glare, distorted images and double vision associated with AMD.

This invention enables adults and children with AMD to self-apply a stick-on eyeglass multi-colored filter UV protectant disc, placed only in front of the affected eye's pupil, on the front of the eyeglass lens. An eye patch blocks all vision completely. However, this invention is an improvement, by which the user chooses optional translucent or solid multi colored, self-applied color filter discs, having different elective properties, which blocks only the affected retina from bright sun, reflections, headlight glare, double vision and distortion, without affecting the users peripheral (side view) vision.

In an embodiment, a modular augmented reality display is provided that incorporates prescription eyewear that can be used separately by the wearer. In an embodiment, an image is generated from a removable display attached to the eyewear and directed into the edge of a prescription lens, which acts as a waveguide. The image is internally reflected within the prescription lens, and is directed to the wearer by an image combiner embedded within the prescription lens. In an embodiment, the augmented reality display includes a wearable belt pouch that includes a battery and support electronics connected to the eyewear so that the weight on the eyewear is reduced.

A method for determining filtering capabilities of a magnification device suitable for providing protection from light when viewed through the magnification device is disclosed. The filtering capability of the magnification device is determined based at least one of an input power of the inputted light signal, a magnification level of the magnification device and an orientation of the filtering within the magnification device. Further disclosed is an lighting system that generates a light, which when reflected into the magnification device is prevent from causing damage to a user's eyes based on the selection of the filtering system disclosed herein.

Method for providing a head mounted optical system, the method comprising: an optical system providing step (S1), during which an optical system with an active function is provided and, an encapsulating step (S8), during which the optical system is at least partly encapsulated in a transparent capsule by stacking in close contact the optical system with at least one substrate of the transparent capsule and made integral with an adhesive.

A display and vision correction system includes a head-mounted display unit, a glasses frame, and a removable lens assembly. The head-mounted display unit is configured to be worn on a head of a user and includes a display for providing graphical content to the user. The glasses frame is configured to be worn on the head of the user. The removable lens assembly is removably coupleable to the head-mounted display unit and to the glasses frame. The removable lens assembly includes a corrective lens element.
