Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a quick release system for removably attaching a lens to eyewear. The quick release system includes a magnetic component that magnetically secures the lens into the eyewear frame. One or more mechanical latches also releasably secures the lens into the eyewear frame. The latch is a single, moveable component that requires not additional parts to allow a user to attach and release the lens. The latch automatically ejects the lens from the eyewear frame when the latch is actuated to release the lens.
Abstract: Some embodiments provide a lens including a lens body and an optical filter configured to attenuate visible light in certain spectral bands. At least some of the spectral bands can include spectral features that tend to substantially increase the colorfulness, clarity, and/or vividness of a scene. In certain embodiments, eyewear incorporates an optical filter that enhances chroma within one or more spectral bands. In some embodiments, a wearer of the eyewear can perceive the increase in chroma when viewing at least certain types of scenes.

Abstract: Chroma-enhanced eyewear lenses (eyewear including sunglasses, goggles, visors, etc.) are comprised of absorbing species, including dyes, that selectively attenuate visible light transmission at one or more wavelength bands, and thereby influence the perception of color and impart a chroma enhancement effect. Chroma-enhanced lenses can include optical filters that attenuate light in one or more wavelength bands. The optical filters include the dye or dye mixtures used in chroma-enhanced lenses. The present disclosure provides chroma enhancing aminothiophene-isoxazolone dyes according to Formula I.
