Publication number: 20160306189Abstract: Contact lenses that comprise a multi-layer design may be utilized to enhance and/or highlight the appearance of the eyes upon which the contact lenses are positioned while maintaining a natural look. These exemplary designs each comprise three layers; namely, a unique limbal design graphic, a unique inner effect graphic and a unique outer effect graphic. The layers may be formed utilizing any number of design elements and design principles. The limbal design graphic is the portion of the overall pattern that surrounds the outer diameter of the iris and is closest to the sclera and is meant to highlight, enhance and/or define the limbal region of the eye; however, it also comprises elements that extend into the iris. The inner effect graphic layer is the portion of the overall pattern that is meant to enhance the iris; however, it may comprise a portion that also contributes to highlighting, enhancing and/or defining the limbal region of the eye.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2015Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventors: Angie L.

Publication number: 20160306193Abstract: A protective presbyopia lens is revealed. The protection lens includes a plano lens area and a presbyopia lens area, both being produced by injection molding. The plano lens area and the presbyopia lens area are connected directly without any medium therebetween. The outer surfaces of the plano lens area and the presbyopia lens area are spheres with the same radius of curvature while the inner surfaces of the plano lens area and the presbyopia lens area are spheres with different radius of curvature. The presbyopia lens area includes upper and lower edges, left, and right edges. Both the vertical distance between the upper and lower edges and the horizontal distance between the left and the right edges are ranging from 3 cm to 5 cm. The presbyopia lens area is corresponding to and covering the user's eye while being worn. Thereby people with presbyopia can see clearly during work.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2016Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventor: CHIN-JEN CHEN

Publication number: 20160306194Abstract: An optical product has, on one or both of surfaces of a base, an optical multilayer film that has a seven-layer structure where low refractive index layers and high refractive index layers are alternately layered. The low refractive index layers are formed by using SiO2. The high refractive index layers are formed by using a material where a refractive index for light having a wavelength of 500 nm is greater than or equal to 2.145. When a layer closest to the base is a first layer, a fifth layer is one of the low refractive index layers, and a physical film thickness of the fifth layer is greater than or equal to 145 nm and not greater than 165 nm. A total of optical film thicknesses of a fourth layer, the fifth layer, and a sixth layer is greater than or equal to 1.3? and not greater than 1.5?.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2016Publication date: October 20, 2016Applicant: TOKAI OPTICAL CO., LTD.Inventor: Hirotoshi TAKAHASHI

Publication number: 20160306195Abstract: The invention relates to a polarized polycarbonate lens for eyewear including protective layers having polarizing function on both sides of a polarized layers, a polarized material with an acrylic coat layer on the convex surface of protective layer so as to be formed into lens shape, a molded part formed integrally on the concave surface of the polarized material, and a hard coat layer on the surface of the acrylic coat layer on the convex surface. The lens has features of less interference pattern and less crack generation during bending step into lens shape and forming step. Moreover, the hard coat layer may be two-layer including a primer layer to generate less interference pattern and cracks. Additionally, this lens does not generate interference pattern even when it includes tinted gradation and a hard coat layer, and the lens does not need mirror coating on the surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2015Publication date: October 20, 2016Inventor: Kazuyuki MIYOSHI
