Embodiments disclosed herein include eyewear that has one or more laminates applied to a lens body. In some embodiments, the lens body is constructed from a substantially rigid material having a curved shape. The lens body can have any desired curvature, including, for example, cylindrical, spherical or toroidal. A laminate can include a substantially flexible substrate and one or more functional layers or coatings applied to the substrate. In addition, one or more functional layers or coatings can be applied directly to the lens body. In certain embodiments, a bonding layer bonds a laminate to a convex and/or concave surface of the lens body. Examples of functional layers or coatings that can be applied to a laminate include anti-reflection coatings, interference stacks, hard coatings, flash mirrors, anti-static coatings, anti-fog coatings, other functional layers, or a combination of functional layers.

Disclosed are high refractive index, hydrophobic, acrylic materials. These materials have both high refractive index and a high Abbe number. This combination means the materials have a low refractive index dispersion and thus are especially suitable for use as intraocular lens materials. The materials are also suitable for use in other implantable ophthalmic devices, such as keratoprostheses, corneal rings, corneal implants, and corneal inlays.

An eyewear includes an eyewear frame; and two lenses held in place via the eyewear frame, each of the two lenses having a top portion composed of a clear polycarbonate; and a bottom portion integral with the top portion and composed of an orange polycarbonate; the bottom portion absorbs blue light and the top portion allows all light through.

An optical filter (1) in which, in a transmission spectrum of the optical filter, when: a minimum value of transmissivity for a wavelength range of from 400 nm to 450 nm, inclusive, is defined as first minimum value MIN1; a minimum value of transmissivity for a wavelength range of from 525 nm to 595 nm, inclusive, is defined as second minimum value MIN2; a maximum value of transmissivity for a wavelength range of from 450 nm to 525 nm, inclusive, is defined as first maximum value MAX1; and a maximum value of transmissivity for a wavelength range of from 595 nm to 600 nm, inclusive, is defined as second maximum value MAX2, first minimum value MAX1 and second minimum value MIN1 are each at most ½ a smaller one of first maximum value MAX1 and second maximum value MAX2.

Active optical filter adapted for a spectacle lens, the active optical filter being configured so as to filter light radiations over at least one predetermined range of wavelengths, wherein the full width at half maximum of the filtering function of the optical filter is smaller than or equal to 100 nm.

This invention discloses methods and apparatus for providing an ophthalmic lens of variable optical power. The variable optic insert may have surfaces within that have differing radii of curvature. The variable optic insert may also comprise polarizing elements. In some examples, an intermediate optic piece may be formed to comprise a UV absorbing dye, allowing differential processing of regions on either side of the intermediate optic piece. In some embodiments, an ophthalmic lens is cast-molded from a silicone hydrogel. The various ophthalmic lens entities may include electroactive liquid crystal layers to electrically control refractive characteristics.

An ophthalmic tinted glass (10) comprises a substrate-forming base eyeglass (1), a first layered structure (2) which covers a convex face (Cx) of the base eyeglass, and optionally a second layered structure (3) which covers a concave face (Cc) of the base eyeglass. The first layered structure has a function of selective reflection increase, and the second layered structure is antireflective. Such ophthalmic tinted glass produces solar protection while having a mean transmittance value in a wavelength range from 460 nm to 10 nm, or 465 nm to 495 nm, which is high enough for avoiding biological, hormonal and behavioural disorders for a wearer of the tinted glass.

The present invention consists of a set of sunglasses used for locating shark teeth on a beach. The invention takes advantage of the way the human brain generates images in order to make shark teeth stand out on the sand. It does so by blocking out specific wavelengths of light that help to accentuate color differences between the teeth and the underlying beach surface. Shark teeth undergo a change of color after falling out that causes them to be differentiable in shade from sand or sediment. By selectively filtering corresponding shades of light, the present invention causes the teeth to stand out as spots on the sand, significantly increasing the ease of spotting and collecting them. When the wavelengths of light reaching the eye are filtered, the shark teeth ultimately stand out as stark dark areas on the beach.

Provided are a lens for spectacles containing a resin and a coloring agent having a maximum absorption wavelength in a methanol solution in a range of 400 nm to 500 nm and a half-width of an absorption peak in a methanol solution of 10 nm or more and less than 40 nm, and spectacles.

Described are multifocal contact lenses that contain high energy visible (HEV) light absorbing compounds and their use for improving one or more vision attributes.
