An eyewear frame assembly includes a frame having a rim for securing a lens. The frame further has a first segment and a second segment. At least one of the first segment and the second segment is movable relative to the other of the first segment and the second segment so as to allow insertion within or removal of the lens from the rim. The frame assembly also includes a projection that extends circumferentially from the first segment. The projection and the second segment are configured to be releasably secured to another, thereby securing the lens within the rim.

Provided is eyewear comprising a front piece that has a metallic wraparound end piece and a non-metallic hinge member that constitutes a hinge portion together with the wraparound end piece. Thereby eyewear that is comfortable to wear and has a metallic front piece is provided.

A method of eyewear manufacture including: adhering frame material onto a surface of a corrective lens, the frame material extending along at least 10% of an edge circumference of the lens; and attaching the lens to a second lens

Eyewear lenses for frameless eyewear may include a stiffening member configured to increase the stiffness of the eyewear lens. The stiffening member may be an integral part of the lens and extend along the upper portion of the lens. At least a portion of the stiffening member may extend forward of a corresponding point on the front surface of the lens. The stiffening member may have different dimensions and cross sections, based on, for example, the stiffening enhancement needed and aesthetic considerations. The stiffening member may be designed to improve the moment of inertia of the eyewear lens to a desired value when compared to an otherwise identical lens without a stiffening member. The increased stiffness caused by the stiffening member may also be designed to achieve a target head force on the head of a user when the eyewear lens is integrated into eyewear.

A structure of clip-on glasses includes a spectacles frame for holding the glasses; the spectacles frame provides an installation part for fixing the glasses and buckle parts for clipping the spectacles frame to the eyeglasses; the buckle parts include elastic buckles which are set on the upper edge of the spectacles frame; elastic buckles are made of elastic material and their contact surface with the eyeglasses are rubber. Because of using elastic material of the elastic buckles, the glasses can adapt to all kinds of eyeglasses with different designs and well clip on. Due to the rubber surface of the elastic buckle, the eyeglasses can prevent from scratching by the elastic buckle.

Providing an eyeglasses frame in a fully automatized manner includes: (d) obtaining a set of data relating to a 3D representation of the frame, from: (a) initial information relating to an initial representation of the frame; and (b) at least one wearer parameter, possibly automatically modified; and (c) at least one frame parameter, possibly automatically modified; and taking account of at least one constraint or automatically modified constraint, relating to geometry of the frame; and automatically providing the 3D representation from the obtained set of data; (e) applying an evaluation criterion to determine whether the 3D representation satisfies the constraint or automatically modified constraint and, if not, (f) iterating obtaining (d) and applying (e) with the automatically modified wearer parameter and/or with the automatically modified frame parameter and/or with the automatically modified constraint, to automatically provide a constraint-compliant set of data relating to a final representation of the frame.

An apparatus includes a container, a plurality of lights and a circuit. The container may comprise an outer shell comprising a material configured to protect contents of the apparatus and an inner surface. The outer shell may be configured to open to enable the contents to be placed on the inner surface. A cavity may be formed within the container when the outer shell is closed. The plurality of lights implemented on the inner surface may each be configured to adjust a characteristic of light output in response to a signal. The circuit may be configured to generate the signal in response to an input. The circuit may be implemented between the outer shell and the inner surface. A reactive material of the contents of the container may be configured to change appearance in response to the characteristic of light.

Embodiments of ultrathin eyeglasses are provided. The eyeglasses comprise a frame and temple pieces extending from the frame. The frame and temple pieces are configured to be directly connected using a bearing or a pin, without the need for a separately attached hinge piece. The temple pieces are configured to sit flat against the frame. An eyeglasses case is also provided. The case has a thin profile and is configured to be attached to a smartphone. The connection between the case and the smartphone allows relative rotation between the case and the smartphone.

An addressable vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) array may generate structured light in dot patterns. The VCSEL array includes a plurality of traces that control different groups of VCSELs, such that each group of VCSELs may be individually controlled. The VCSEL groups are arranged such that they emit a dot pattern, and by modulating which groups of VCSELs are active a density of the dot pattern may be adjusted. The VCSEL array may be part of a depth projector that projects the dot pattern into a local area. A projection assembly may replicate the dot pattern in multiple tiles.

A bio-based polycarbonate ester resin is environment friendly by not containing a bisphenol, and exhibits excellent heat resistance, transparency, strength, hardness, dimensional stability and chemical resistance. Thus, the bio-based polycarbonate ester resin is suitable for use in an eyeglass frame. In addition, various colors may be painted and coated on during post-processing, a separate additive is not required during a molding process, and processing is undergone at a temperature lower than that for conventional plastic materials for an eyeglass frame, and thus manufacturing costs may be reduced.
