  • Publication number: 20220252767
    Abstract: Night vision refocus devices are provided, in which the night vision refocus devices include a housing comprising (i) a proximate end configured to couple to a lens frame (e.g., housing an objective lens) of a night vision device and a distal end, (ii) a faceplate operably connected to the housing, in which the faceplate includes a faceplate aperture, and (iii) an aperture-selection component (ASC) rotatably mounted directly or indirectly to the faceplate. The ASC includes a plurality of individual refocusing-apertures (IFAs) including a first IFA having a first area and a second IFA having a second area, in which the first area is larger than the second area. The first IFA is aligned with the faceplate aperture when the ASC is oriented in a first position, and the second IFA is aligned with the faceplate aperture when the ASC is oriented in a second position.
