PRESSURIZED GOGGLE FOR INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE MODIFICATION
Assemblies and methods for modifying an intraocular pressure of a patient's one or both eyes are disclosed. The assemblies and methods can be used to treat, inhibit, or prevent ocular conditions such as glaucoma, high intraocular pressure, optic disc edema, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, zero-gravity induced papilledema, and other optic pressure related conditions. An assembly can include a goggle including at least one cavity, a pump in fluid communication with the at least one cavity, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism can be operatively coupled to the pump and can maintain a target pressure or target pressure range in the at least one cavity, which, when the assembly is worn by a patient, is the area between a patient's eye(s) and wall surfaces of the goggle. Controlling the pressure over the outer surfaces of the patient's eye(s) can drive a desired change in the intraocular pressure of the eye(s).
ELECTRONIC SPECTACLES
The invention relates to spectacles, systems and methods for visibility enhancement, including by glare suppression. The spectacles, systems and methods for visibility enhancement includes spectacles and a spectacle lens having a liquid crystal cell (LC), the transmission (TR) of which may be varied by a suitable control and the liquid crystal cell (LC) designed so that the transmission (TR) of the liquid crystal cell (LC) may be switched between high and low transmission states. The liquid crystal cell (LC) includes a control for regulating the times of the state of high transmission (T.sub.on) of the liquid crystal cell (LC) such that the temporal position of the times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) within a period of times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) and times of the low transmission state (T.sub.off) may be altered continuously or discontinuously; and/or the duration of a period of times of the high transmission state (T.sub.on) and times of the low transmission state (T.sub.off) may be altered continuously or discontinuously. Such changes may be determined by a secret coding key.
GOGGLES WITH INTERCHANGEABLE LOCKING STRAP
Goggles include a goggle frame, a goggle strap, and a goggle strap connector. The goggle strap has a direction of strap tension when the goggles are worn by a user. The goggle strap connector includes a female bracket and a male bracket. The female bracket is directly coupled to the goggle frame or the goggle strap, including first and second bracket walls, a channel defined between the bracket walls, projections, and recesses. The male bracket is configured to mateably couple to the female bracket, including a sliding bar and an enlarged bar end. First movement of the goggle strap in the strap tension direction may move at least one of the bar bumps of the enlarged bar end past at least one of the projections to position the at least one of the bar bumps within at least one of the recesses.
MAGNETIC SAFETY GLASSES
Safety glasses have two magnets located near temple arm hinges so that surfaces of both magnets become coplanar when the temple arm pieces close. The magnets provide two separated areas of coupling that allow the safety glasses to adhere to a surface and stay in place when jarring forces are present. The safety glasses can be stored on magnetically active surfaces or other surfaces with adaptive tabs and may be kept close to where they will be used and in a visible location as a safety reminder or safe location to protect the safety glasses.

Facial interface assemblies for head-mounted displays and related systems and methods
The disclosed flexible facial interface assemblies for head-mounted display systems may include a rigid support frame element and a flexible facial interface frame element. The rigid support frame element may be shaped and configured to physically support a display of a head-mounted display system in front of a user's eyes when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. The flexible facial interface frame element may be configured to flex to conform to the user's facial features when the facial interface assembly is worn by the user. An outer periphery of the flexible facial interface frame element may be independently movable relative to an outer periphery of the rigid support frame element. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.
