  • Patent number: 11867981
    Abstract: An exemplary system, method, and device are disclosed that facilitate a modular eyewear system with modular components (e.g., lenses, frames, speakers, cameras, lights, etc.) that can be interchanged. The modular components can be interchanged using components that are reversibly attachable/releasable (e.g., magnets at both male-female connectors). This can allow a wearer of the eyewear to quickly reconfigure the eyewear for different purposes, readjust the fit of the eyewear, repair damage to the eyewear, and/or customize the appearance of the eyewear.

  • Patent number: 11766357
    Abstract: A device for superimposing parameters and/or image data in the stereoscopic observation path of ophthalmological devices relates to an apparatus for reflecting relevant parameters and/or image data into the stereoscopic observation beam path of ophthalmic devices, for example for therapeutic laser treatments of an eye. The device includes an additional micro-display, which is connected to the control unit, and a beam deflection element for reflecting the parameters and/or image data shown on the micro-display into the stereoscopic observation beam path, which are for example arranged in the parallel beam path. Even though the apparatus is intended for ophthalmic devices for therapeutic laser treatment in the eye, it can also be used, in principle, for ophthalmic devices for examination, diagnosis and surgical interventions.
