Abstract: A display element of an optical stack assembly in an augmented reality (AR) near-eye display device may be protected against ultraviolet (UV) and/or infrared (IR) exposure through one or more protective coatings on various surfaces of the elements of the optical stack assembly. A photochromic coating on one of the surfaces of the elements of the optical stack assembly may also be used instead of or in addition to the protective coatings.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an implantable accommodative IOL device for insertion into an eye of a patient, comprising an active region and a passive region. The active region has a first thickness and first refractive index, and the active region comprises an electrically responsive optical lens having variable optical power. The passive region is disposed at a periphery of the active region, and the passive region has a second thickness and a second refractive index. The second refractive index is different than the first refractive index. Thus, the light beams passing through the active and passive regions have a phase difference, thereby providing an extended depth of field.
