Some embodiments provide a lens including a lens body and an optical filter configured to attenuate visible light in a plurality of spectral bands. Each of the plurality of spectral bands can include an absorptance peak with a spectral bandwidth, a maximum absorptance, and an integrated absorptance peak area within the spectral bandwidth. An attenuation factor obtained by dividing the integrated absorptance peak area within the spectral bandwidth by the spectral bandwidth of the absorptance peak can be greater than or equal to about 0.8 for the absorptance peak in each of the plurality of spectral bands.

An optical element includes a glass substrate layer and an optical plastic layer. The optical plastic layer has a planar surface. A prescription surface may be formed in the optical plastic layer opposite the planar surface.

The present invention relates to dichromic mirrored patterns on fashion eyewear that exhibits variable opacity on the exterior of a photochromic lens in response to changing lighting conditions wherein the pattern can go from virtually transparent to opaque. The dichromic mirror pattern(s) can be coated in multi-color pattern sections and can be coated so that some pattern sections ave variable opacity and other pattern sections have a fixed high opacity. The effect can also be produced on an optical film to be applied to many optical surfaces.

Light weight ophthalmic lenses include a curved back lens attached to a curved front lens assembly having a functional element. An ophthalmic lens includes a curved front lens assembly and a curved back lens. The curved front lens assembly has an essentially constant thickness, forms an external world-side convex surface of the ophthalmic lens, and includes a functional element operable to modify an image of a real world scene viewed via the ophthalmic lens. The curved back lens forms an external user-side surface of the ophthalmic lens, has a world-side convex surface that is shaped complementary to and interfaced with the front lens assembly, and provides a prescribed vision correction.

The present disclosure is directed generally to a lens that provides a stop signal to a myopic eye, over a substantial portion of the spectacle lens that the viewer is using. The present disclosure is directed to devices, methods and/or systems of imposing a stop signal to eye growth, using a spectacle lens in conjunction with a micro lenslet array. The present disclosure is also directed to devices, methods and/or systems of modifying incoming light through spectacle lenses that utilizes chromatic cues to decelerate the rate of myopia progression. The present disclosure is directed to devices, methods and/or systems of imposing a stop signal to eye growth, using a spectacle lens in conjunction with a refractive optical element and/or diffractive optical element that offer conflicting or contradictory optical signals at a wavelength between 510 nm and 610 nm.

A spectacle lens has, starting from the object-sided front surface of the spectacle lens to the opposite rear-side of the spectacle lens, at least a) one component A including at least one functional layer F.sub.A and/or an ultrathin glass, b) one component B including at least one polymer material and, c) one component C, including at least one functional layer F and/or an ultrathin glass. A method, in particular a 3D printing method, for producing the spectacle lens is also disclosed.

Provided is a polymerizable composition for an optical article including a photochromic compound, an acyclic methacrylate having a molecular weight of 500 or more (a component A), and a bifunctional (meth)acrylate containing a structure selected from the group consisting of a cyclic structure and a branch structure (component B).

Ophthalmic lenses are described that have a layer, which has a base refractive index, provided on a surface of the lens. The layer includes at least one gradient index optical element. The ophthalmic lens may be a spectacle lens or a contact lens.

A film for applying to an ophthalmic lens is described. The film, or the combination of the film and the ophthalmic lens are designed to prevent or slow the development or progression of myopia. The film has a base refractive index and includes at least one gradient index optical element. Ophthalmic lenses, such as spectacle lenses and contact lenses, that include the films are also described.

Provided is a polarizing sheet that can precisely impart a desired curved shape without causing whitening when bending is carried out. A polarizing sheet of an embodiment of the present invention having a structure in which a polyamide resin film (1), a polarizing film, and a polyamide resin film (2) are laminated in this order, wherein a retardation value of the polyamide resin film (1) is from 10 to 3000 nm, and the retardation value of the polyamide resin film (1) and a retardation value of the polyamide resin film (2) satisfy Formula (r):
