Using two or more cameras attached to the eyewear, three-dimensional views with accurate and natural depth perception of the working area can be displayed for users, so that the user can maintain healthy sitting or standing posture while working on patients or objects located below horizontal eye level. Additional functions including eye protection, zoom-in, zoom-out, on-off, lighting control, overlapping, and teleconference capabilities are also supported using electronic, video and audio devices attached to the eyewear. The eyewear can also comprise a face shield designed to protect the user from hazardous droplets, aerosols, harmful wavelengths of light, heat, sparks, flash burn, debris and/or flying objects.

A metamaterial optical filter including: a transparent substrate; and a photosensitive polymer layer provided to the transparent substrate, wherein the photosensitive polymer layer is treated using a laser to form a non-conformal holographically patterned subwavelength grating, the holographic grating configured to block a predetermined wavelength of electromagnetic radiation. A system and method for manufacturing holographically patterned subwavelength grating onto the photosensitive polymer layer including: applying a photosensitive polymer layer to a transparent substrate; placing the photosensitive polymer layer between a laser and a mirror; scanning the laser over the photosensitive polymer layer such that a holographic grating is created within the photosensitive polymer layer by interaction between the laser light and light reflected from the mirror; and stacking two or more holographically patterned subwavelength grating layers to form complex metamaterial optical filter stacks.

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.

Active dichoptic perceptual-learning tasks or dichoptic game play have been shown to significantly improve visual acuity of amblyopic children and adults. However, these dichoptic perceptual learning tasks are intensive and repetitive such that non-compliance is high. In contrast, the invention provides dichoptic perceptual learning in a manner that the user maintains its use and compliance is increased. Further, compliance becomes automatic if the user performs tasks in a normal manner and “forgets” that they are actually undergoing treatment as it is integrated with minimal disruption to their life and activities. Accordingly, a methodology exploiting complementary dichoptic simulation is presented.

A laser protection eyewear lens includes a lens substrate comprising an embedded wavelength filter having a first filter function, and a multi-layer dielectric filter applied to at least one of an inside and an outside surface of the lens substrate that comprises a second filter function having at least one center wavelength and bandwidth. The first filter function of the embedded wavelength filter and the second filter function of the multilayer dielectric filter produce a combined filter function that attenuates light reflecting off the multi-layer dielectric filter.

A transparent laminate including a transparent substrate and structure layer, wherein the structure layer contains protrusion portions, depression portions, or both on a surface thereof, and an average distance between the adjacent protrusion portions or between the adjacent depression portions is equal to or less than a visible light wavelength, the structure layer includes a polymerized product of an active energy ray curable resin composition, the resin composition includes a composition of a (meth)acryloyl group-containing polymerizable compound, the compound composition includes one or more from each of (A), (B), and (C): (A) a monofunctional (meth)acryloyl group-containing polymerizable compound; (B) alkylene glycol di(meth)acrylate; and (C) trifunctional or higher (meth)acrylate,
the (A) satisfies certain conditions specifying a type and amount of a compound, and a ratio (E′.sub.150/E′.sub.50) of storage elastic modulus E′.sub.150 of the structure layer at 150° C. to storage elastic modulus E′.sub.50 thereof at 50° C. is 0.5 or less.

At least one of the first display and a second display move at least one of the left eye image and the right eye image such that a distance between the left eye image and the right eye image is increased. A separation confirmation signal is received indicating that the image focuses of the image do not coincide with each other in terms of fusion. Fusional amplitude information is stored indicating a separation distance between the left eye image and the right eye image when the image separation confirmation is input.

A display having a variably controlled backlight and/or driver is disclosed. The backlight includes a first light source that emits light within a first spectral power distribution and has a first radiant power output. A second light source emits light within a second spectral power distribution matched to an optical filter for producing a perceived chromaticity and luminosity matching the perceived display appearance without the optical filter.

A protective loupes eyewear assembly having an eyewear frame with magnifying loupes. The eyewear frame has notches in the top of the frame and a bottom shelf structure on the inside of the frame. An insert assembly with a pair of outwardly extending tabs and a mating configuration is constructed to slip into the notches at the top of the eyewear frame and into a bottom shelf structure behind the eyewear frame to provide laser protection for use in the dental, surgical and other arts.

An optical system having a spectral transmission profile having an average transmittance Ta between 380 nm and 780 nm and an average red light transmittance Tr between a first limit L1 and a second limit L2, with Tr<2*Ta/3 and L1=600 nm and L2=780 nm, and the optical system being configured to allow selectively retinal exposure of an eye to at least one selected range of wavelengths of light in the visible spectrum of 460 nm to 530 nm.
