  • Publication number: 20140214047
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the storage and retrieval of patient personal and medical information and records in the eye of an implanted or patient. Patient medical information or other personalized data in the form of indicia is imparted to an implant which is engaged into a mounted position in the eye during eye surgery or a needle insertion. The indicia may be read through the clear tissue of the eye, using an optical magnifier once implanted. Indicia is imparted to the implant using a laser or photographically or printing. Conventionally employed laser surgery equipment used for LASIK and similar surgeries can be easily adapted to both impart the indicia to the implant and form a cavity to hold the implant for subsequent viewing of the visible indicia.

  • Publication number: 20140043682
    Abstract: Eyewear having a pivoted engagement of lenses with a lens frame worn on the head of the user. A lens assembly holding the lens or lenses is rotatable out of the user's view when not required for viewing such as when conversing with a friend or when wearing tinted lenses and needing unfiltered viewing. Biasing of the rotatable assembly provides for automatic rotation upward out of the field of view of the user upon release of a retaining component. The rotational engagement of lenses relative to a head worn frame may be employed in combination with prescription lenses, sunglass lenses, or 3D filtering lenses for viewing 3D media in the same rotational engagement and in one mode of the device are removable.
