Abstract: Eyeglasses are disclosed that include eyeglass frames and a pair of ophthalmic lenses mounted in the frames. The lenses include a dot pattern distributed across each lens, the dot pattern including an array of dots spaced apart by a distance of 1 mm or less, each dot having a maximum dimension of 0.3 mm or less, the dot pattern including a clear aperture free of dots having a maximum dimension of more than 1 mm, the clear aperture being aligned with a viewing axis of a wearer of the pair of eyeglasses.

Abstract: A lens with star-shaped optical zone to increase defocus image area is disclosed. The lens includes a central optical area to pass light to image on central imaging area of retina; a peripheral optical area formed around the central optical area and configured to pass light to image on a peripheral image blurring area on peripheral of the central imaging area; a star-shaped optical zone formed on the surface of the central optical area and configured to pass light to clearly image on the central imaging area; and a defocus area formed on a portion of the central optical area other than the optical zone. The defocus area can be used to increase defocus image area of the central imaging area, to extend a range of the optical area having defocus effect on the retina without the need to excessively increasing the defocus power of the lens.

Abstract: At a first computer-enabled imaging device in a plurality of computer-enabled imaging devices, a first workflow including time-stamped images of a region of interest is obtained during a first time interval, and first meta data is associated with the second workflow. The first meta data includes positional and orientation data, the first time interval, and an identity of the first computer-enabled imaging device. Control signals are generated based on a characteristic of the first workflow, and then communicated to a second computer-enabled imaging device. In accordance with the control signals, the second computer-enabled imaging device obtains a second workflow including time-stamped images of the region of interest, and associates second meta data with the second workflow. A central system, or any computer-enabled imaging device in the plurality, consolidates the first and second workflows into a consolidated workflow for the region of interest using the first and second meta data.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a colored contact lens designed for making a wearer's eyes to appear larger, bolder, and enhanced color while giving the wearer's eyes a very natural appearance. A colored contact lens of the invention comprising a first print of a first color and a second print of a second color, wherein the first print consisting of an annular ring of gradient dot matrix, wherein the second print comprises a limbal ring and an outer starburst pattern, wherein the limbal ring surrounds the outer starburst pattern, wherein the annular ring and the limbal ring have a substantially identical outer diameter and the annular ring has a larger inside diameter than the limbal ring, the first color and the second color are different or the same, wherein the first print and the second print are concentric with the center of contact lens.

Abstract: Described herein are devices, compositions, and methods for improving color discernment.

Abstract: A contact lens, comprising a preprint of a first shade and a main print of a second shade, wherein the preprint consisting of a first band of gradient dot matrix, wherein the main print consisting of a second band of evenly spaced circular voids, wherein the second band surrounds the starburst pattern, wherein the first band and the second band have a substantially identical outer diameter and the first band has a smaller inside diameter than the second band, wherein the first shade and the second shade are different, wherein the gradient dot matrix is characterized by dot coverage increases in a radial direction from the center too the peripheral edge or a position near the peripheral edge of the substantially-circular pattern.

Abstract: A contact lens with a central portion, an iris portion, and a peripheral portion disposed about the iris portion; an effect band in or just outside the iris portion helps to provide the lens with a halo effect when worn on eye.

Abstract: Provided is a colored contact lens in which a colored band is disposed at a boundary part between a dark part and a white part of an eye, and a density is gradually changed from the dark part to the white part of the eye such that the density of this colored band decreases from an inner circumference side to an outer circumference side. As a result, a novel colored contact lens is provided with which it is possible to bring out beauty of the white part of the eye, which has been ignored by conventional technology, while an impression is maintained that is as natural and elegant as possible by avoiding an artificial impression such as that found in conventional technology.

Abstract: A colored contact lens having a non-opaque pupil section, an iris section surrounding said pupil section, and a colored, opaque, intermittent pattern over the iris section which is indiscernible to the ordinary viewer. The pattern is made up of a first portion having a first shade, a second portion having a second shade different from the first shade, and a third portion having a shade different from the second portion and either the same or different from the first portion. A first uneven border differentiates the first and second portions, and a second uneven border differentiates the second and third portions, however, said portions may overlap. The lens is capable of changing appearance of the iris of the person wearing the lens.

Abstract: A contact lens, comprising a preprint of a first shade and a main print of a second shade, wherein the preprint consisting of a first band of gradient dot matrix, wherein the main print consisting of a second band of evenly spaced circular voids, wherein the second band surrounds the starburst pattern, wherein the first band and the second band have a substantially identical outer diameter and the first band has a smaller inside diameter than the second band, wherein the first shade and the second shade are different, wherein the gradient dot matrix is characterized by dot coverage increases in a radial direction from the center too the peripheral edge or a position near the peripheral edge of the substantially-circular pattern.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods, materials and systems for producing contact lenses and contact lenses produced using said methods, materials and systems. According to some embodiments, a contact lens produced by said methods, materials and systems includes an extra-ocular indicator (“EOI”) adapted to alter in color upon removal of said lens from an eye. The EOI may be at least partially composed of a pigment adapted to become relatively more visible when the contact lens is outside an eye than when the contact lens is placed in an eye.
