351045000 | Partially occluding the light-path area | 13 |
20090066907 | Sports vision training device and method - A sports vision training device includes a pair of glasses with a frame supporting a left lens and a right lens. The right lens carries a right reticle, and the left lens carries a left reticle. The reticles provide visual references within the field of view of the player. The reticles may include upper and lower horizontal reference lines, vertical reference lines, a frame, and a crosshair pattern. Different patterns can be used for depth control training, timing control training, and early recognition for tennis and other sports. | 03-12-2009 |
20090073375 | Methods and Devices for Prevention and Treatment of Myopia and Fatigue - An electronic image shown on a display can be shifted to the left for left eye viewing and shifted to the right for right eye viewing. A left eye shutter can be positioned over the left eye and a right eye shutter positioned over the right eye. The left eye shutter can open when the image shown on the display is shifted to the left, and the right eye shutter can open when the image shown on the display is shifted to the right, such that each eye can view the image without substantial convergence. In addition to relieving convergence, embodiments of the present invention may relieve prolonged ciliary muscle spasms that can result in pseudomyopia, and may also decrease the onset and severity of myopia, for example developmental myopia. | 03-19-2009 |
20090168011 | Vision Obstructing Eyewear - The present invention is directed to eyewear which obstructs a user's vision to simulate game conditions when training for a sport. The level of obstruction can be random or in a controlled program. | 07-02-2009 |
20090257018 | Eyeglasses - Disclosed is a pair of eyeglasses adapted to substantially block glaring light. The pair of eyeglasses includes a frame assembly and a pair of lenses supported by the frame. Each lens of the pair of lenses includes an opaque portion configured on an upper portion of each lens of the pair of lenses and a transparent portion configured on a lower portion of each lens of the pair of lenses. The opaque portion is adapted to substantially block light passing through the pair of lenses. | 10-15-2009 |
20090262299 | Corrective eyeglasses - The lens of the subject corrective eyeglasses obstructs the vision of a preselected area but not the whole of the wearer's stronger eye, either by impairing his vision or entirely blocking it. When the vision is so obstructed, the wearer's weaker eye is forced to compensate for the stronger eye's loss by taking over the area of sight not visible by the stronger eye. The lens may be obstructed by applying over the preselected area of the lens a coating which distorts or blurs the object seen by the eye. Alternatively an opaque coating may be applied to the preselected area to entirely block the object. In either case, the wearer is forced to use his weaker eye to see the object impaired or blocked by the coating. | 10-22-2009 |
20110075092 | Protective Eyewear for Welding and Methods of Use - Protective eyewear for Oxy-fuel welding and/or cutting, such as Oxy-acetylene welding and/or cutting is described. The protective eyewear comprises a frame and at least one lens assembly. The at least one lens assembly includes (i) a first portion having translucent properties and (ii) a second portion having translucent properties, the first portion being darker than the second portion. The first portion of the at least one lens assembly is typically of a dark shade to provide protection from potentially harmful light emitted during Oxy-fuel welding and/or cutting process and the second portion of the at least one lens assembly is typically clear allowing a wearer to perform various actions where greater visibility is required. Methods of using the protective eyewear to more efficiently and effectively perform Oxy-fuel welding and/or cutting are disclosed. | 03-31-2011 |
20110075093 | DETACHABLE SIDESHADE FOR SPECTACLES - A sideshade for reducing peripheral glare that is removably attachable to a temple of spectacles such that the wearer of the spectacles is not required to remove the spectacles in order to attach the sideshade to or detach the sideshade from the temple of the spectacles. The detachable sideshade is optical or near-optical quality so as not to degrade the wearer's peripheral vision. The sideshade is lightweight and easy to attach and remove. | 03-31-2011 |
20110085127 | Eyeglass Lens - A lens that covers the front side of an eye, includes: a high light-transmissive region including an eyepoint; and a low light-transmissive region surrounding the entire circumference of the high light-transmissive region, a light blocking ratio in the low light-transmissive region being higher than the light blocking ratio in the high light-transmissive region, wherein the low light-transmissive region has a region where the light blocking ratio changes toward the periphery. | 04-14-2011 |
20110090452 | EYEGLASS USING ADJUSTABLE PUPIL MASK TO IMPROVE VISION - An apparatus for adjusting the amount of light passing through a pupil of a human eyeball particularly for a person having defects or imperfections in the eyeball lens. An electrically controllable mask area having a smallest, a medium and a largest mask opening may be coupled to at least one lens of the eyeglass. The mask area is varied with a rotating aperture adjustment assembly on a controller so that an image of an object that would otherwise pass through the pupil is masked so that a smaller portion of the image passes through the pupil. The wearer may select the at least one mask opening by moving a thumb wheel on the rotating aperture adjustment assembly. The wearer selects at least one of on and off condition of the apparatus with a button. The mask area can be customized by means of an external processing system. | 04-21-2011 |
20110170047 | EYEWEAR WITH PINHOLE APERTURE AND LENS - Eyewear is equipped with at least one lens and at least one pinhole aperture. Lenses and apertures may be used in place of or in combination with one another, and may be disposed in or on full frame, half frame, wire frame or rimless eyeglasses. The lens may be a corrective lens. Pinhole apertures may have a diameter no greater than about 3 mm, and a diameter/thickness ratio no less than about 66.7%. | 07-14-2011 |
20110279768 | EYEWEAR WITH PINHOLE APERTURE AND LENS - Eyewear is equipped with at least one lens and at least one pinhole aperture. Lenses and apertures may be used in place of or in combination with one another, and may be disposed in or on full frame, half frame, wire frame or rimless eyeglasses. The lens may be a corrective lens. Pinhole apertures may have a diameter no greater than about 3 mm, and a diameter/thickness ratio no less than about 66.7%. | 11-17-2011 |
20160103337 | EYE PATCH ATTACHABLE TO EYEGLASSES - An eye patch formed of a flexible, opaque material is attached to a pair of eyeglasses. The patch has an asymmetric conical shape when in repose. The patch extends from an eyeglass nose bridge around a ninety degree (90°) bend to an eyeglass temple piece and overlies a lens of the eyeglasses. At least one slit is formed in an outboard end of the patch to slidingly receive the eyeglass temple piece. An elastic strap is secured to a peripheral edge of the patch at the inboard end of the patch. The elastic strap underlies the nose bridge so that the nose bridge captures the elastic strap. The peripheral edge of the patch abuts a user's face in encircling relation to an eye when the patch is secured to the eyeglasses so that light is prevented from reaching the eye. | 04-14-2016 |
