A method for manufacturing one-piece corrective eyewear. The method includes a first step wherein an item with essentially flat blank shape is formed by a 3D-printing process. The item encompasses two lens portions, a bridge portion, and two temple portions; or the two lens portions and the bridge portion. The method includes a second step wherein the item is deformed into a wearable shape. During the first step a frame portion surrounding the lens portions is formed as part of the blank shape.

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a 3D computer model of an eyewear product, using a computer system, the method including obtaining an inventory comprising a plurality of product frames; scanning a user's anatomy; extracting measurements of the user's anatomy; obtaining a first model of a contour and/or surface of the user's anatomy, based on the extracted measurements of the user's anatomy; identifying, based on the contour and/or the surface of the user's anatomy, a first product frame among the plurality of product frames; determining adjustments to the first product frame based on the contour and/or the surface of the user's anatomy; generating a second model rendering comprising the adjusted first product frame matching the contours and/or the surface of the user's anatomy.

A computer-implemented method is provided for measuring optometric values and for manipulating a glasses frame remotely in order to manufacture lenses and provide customized glasses for a person. The method includes providing aesthetic indications on the correct position of the glasses in relation to the person's head, and assessing a degree of comfort in relation to the possibility of deformation of the arms and frame.

A virtual try-on process for spectacles includes an approximate positioning and a fine positioning of a spectacle frame on a head of a user. Provided for this purpose are 3D models of the head and the spectacle frame, as well as head metadata based on the model of the head and frame metadata based on the model of the frame. The head metadata contains placement information, in particular a placement point, which can be used for the approximate positioning of the spectacle frame on the head, and/or a placement region which describes a region of the earpiece part of the frame for placement on the ears of the head. A rapid and relatively simple computational positioning of the spectacle frame on the head and a more accurate positioning using a subsequent precise adjustment can be achieved with the aid of the metadata.

Systems and methods for creating fully custom products from scratch without exclusive use of off-the-shelf or pre-specified components. A system for creating custom products includes an image capture device for capturing image data and/or measurement data of a user. A computer is communicatively coupled with the image capture device and configured to construct an anatomic model of the user based on the captured image data and/or measurement data. The computer provides a configurable product model and enables preview and automatic or user-guided customization of the product model. A display is communicatively coupled with the computer and displays the custom product model superimposed on the anatomic model or image data of the user. The computer is further configured to provide the customized product model to a manufacturer for manufacturing eyewear for the user in accordance with the customized product model. The manufacturing system is configured to interpret the product model and prepare instructions and control equipment for the manufacturing of the customized product.

A cleansing device that forces fresh, unused contact lens solution in a manner that jets the front and back surfaces of an item with sufficient force to prevent air bubbles from clinging to surface areas of the item. Further, the cleansing device submerges the item in the fresh, unused contact cleansing solution for a controlled threshold cleansing time to ensure proper removal of contaminate build-ups on the item. Further still, according to inventive concepts, devices are automatically cleansed and dried to ensure sterility. As such, the cleansing device is ready for another cleansing cycle prior to the user's next scheduled cleansing cycle.

A process for creating a production specification for a customized eyeglass frame for a patient includes the following steps. A library is accessed having fully parameterized standardized models for characterizing a plurality of eyeglass frame styles. The models are configured to accept a plurality of customization inputs including patient biometric data. A customized model of an eyeglass frame is then constructed by populating the fully parameterized standardized model corresponding to the eyeglass frame style selected by the patient with the customization inputs for the patient. An output is generated from the customized model, the output corresponding to the production specification for the customized eyeglass frame.

A method for determining at least one optical conception parameter for a progressive ophthalmic lens intended to equip a frame of a wearer, depending on the visual behavior of the latter. The method comprises the following steps: a) collecting a plurality of behavioral measurements relating to a plurality of gaze directions and/or positions of the wearer during a visual task; b) statistically processing said plurality of behavioral measurements in order to determine a zone of use of the area of an eyeglass fitted in said frame, said zone of use being representative of a statistical spatial distribution of said plurality of behavioral measurements; and c) determining at least one optical conception parameter for said progressive ophthalmic lens depending on a spatial extent and/or position of the zone of use.

A design system generates a design for an eyewear frame customized for a user. The eyewear frame provides audio content to the user. The design system captures anthropometric data of the user. Using machine learning techniques, the design system determines features of the user from the anthropometric data and generates a three dimensional (3D) geometry of the portion of the user's head. A design for the customized eyewear frame is generated based on the 3D geometry of the portion of the user's head. The design of the customized eyewear frame includes design parameters that describe a shape of a coupling element that ensures the eyewear frame is customized to the user's head.

A wearable accessory can include one or more retainer arms and a housing. The one or more retainer arms can couple to a wearable article. The housing can define an inner chamber that is sized for receiving component that is coupled to the one or more retainer arms. The housing can move between a closed position and an open position. The housing can protect the component from the environment external to the chamber in the closed position and reveal the component to the environment external to the chamber in the open position.
