US Patent:

20190025611, Jan 24, 2019

Filed:

Sep 10, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/126983

Inventors:

- Foothill Ranch CA, US
Benjamin J. MEUNIER - San Clemente CA, US
Christopher John ANDERSON - Mission Viejo CA, US

International Classification:

G02C 7/10

Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein include eyewear that provides controlled variable light attenuation and color enhancement based on an input received from a user, a sensor and/or a signal from a control circuit. In some embodiments, the eyewear includes an optical filter system with two or more defined filter states that are adapted to improve color vision in different environments. The optical filter system can be incorporated into a lens having any desired curvature, including, for example, cylindrical, spherical or toroidal. The lens can include one or more functional components. Examples of functional components include color enhancement filters, chroma enhancement filters, a laser attenuation filter, electrochromic filters, photoelectrochromic filters, variable attenuation filters, anti-reflection coatings, interference stacks, hard coatings, flash mirrors, anti-static coatings, anti-fog coatings, other functional layers, or a combination of functional layers.

Inventors:

- Foothill Ranch CA, US
Jason Belbey - Fullerton CA, US
Benjamin John Meunier - San Clemente CA, US
Ryan Saylor - Mission Viejo CA, US

International Classification:

G02C 13/00
G02C 7/02

Abstract:

Features are disclosed relating to an article such as eyewear customized to individual wearer parameters (e.g., measurements, preferences, etc.), and to systems and methods for customizing eyewear to individual wearer parameters. The system includes an input for receiving data representative of a three dimensional configuration of a portion of a wearer's face and an input for receiving data representative of a desired position where the wearer would like an eyewear frame to reside on the wearer's face. One system also includes a processor for determining a change in configuration of an eyewear component blank to allow the eyewear frame to reside in the desired position, and an eyewear component modifier for modifying the eyewear component blank so that the frame will reside in the desired position.

Appl. No.:

15/372814

Inventors:

- Foothill Ranch CA, US
Benjamin John Meunier - San Clemente CA, US
Ryan Saylor - Mission Viejo CA, US

International Classification:

G02C 3/00
G02C 5/12
G02C 5/14

Abstract:

Eyewear can be provided that include at least a support and a traction surface that allows the eyewear to be retained on a user's face. The support can include at least an earstem and a face. The traction surface can be coupled to a portion of the support. The traction surface can provide a greater amount of traction force before slipping when subject to forces in certain directions and can provide a lesser amount of traction force before slipping when subject to forces in other directions.

G02C 7/02

Abstract:

Certain embodiments disclosed herein include lenses for eyewear with a molded wafer and a molded clear resin lens component integrated onto a surface of the molded wafer. The molded wafer can include an optical filter that enhances one or more properties of filtered light. The optical filter can be, for example, a contrast-enhancing, color-enhancing, and/or chroma-enhancing filter. The clear resin lens component can be shaped such that the lenses have optical power. In some embodiments, the molded wafer is integrated onto a surface of a polarizing wafer.
