Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for reducing side effects, such as halos, glare and best focus shifts, in multifocal refractive lenses and extended depth of focus lenses. Exemplary ophthalmic lenses can include a continuous, power progressive aspheric surface based on two or more merged optical zones, the aspheric surface being defined by a single aspheric equation. Continuous power progressive intraocular lenses can mitigate optical side effects that typically result from abrupt optical steps. Aspheric power progressive and aspheric extended depth of focus lenses can be combined with diffractive lens profiles to further enhance visual performance while minimizing dysphotopsia effects. The combination can provide an increased depth of focus that is greater than an individual depth of focus of either the refractive profile or the diffractive profile.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to devices for training the human brain to overcome the effects of amblyopia. Some examples include a divider placed between the left eye and the right eye of a user or wearer. Such examples reduce the portion of a user's field of vision of each eye that overlaps, which in turn reduces the degree to which the brain can rely on input from the dominant eye to compensate for poor vision in the weak eye. Some examples include an obstruction element that covers a portion of the field of vision of the dominant eye. Such devices convert binocular fields of view into bi-monocular fields of view. Such devices help a user to overcome the effects of amblyopia by training the brain to better utilize and integrate visual information from the weak eye.

Abstract: A method for acquiring data with the aid of a surgical microscopy system comprises recording a data set having a multiplicity of images and deciding whether or not the new data set ought to be stored in a data memory of a database. The decision is taken by an existing classifier. A new classifier is determined on the basis of training data which comprise the data sets stored in the data memory of the database and/or comprise data obtained from the data sets stored in the data memory of the database. The new classifier is then used instead of the existing classifier when deciding whether a subsequently recorded new data set ought to be stored.

A first rib and a second rib are opposite to each other and disposed on a second assembly portion at a front side of a temple. The first rib is mounted into a first mounting groove at one end of the pivot member. A positioning flange is formed on the second rib and inserted through an opening of the switch member to be mounted in a second mounting groove on the other end of the pivot member. When the switch member is rotated an angle to be staggered or aligned with respect to the positioning flange of the second rib, the temple is firmly fixed to or separated from the frame. Thereby parts are assembled and replaced easily and conveniently.
