Abstract
A device can include glasses including one or more lenses that permit a wearer a broad view of the environment from a first perspective and contact members having one or more contact-surfaces formed to secure the glasses to a head of the wearer while the wearer is wearing the device. The device can include one or more loupes, each loupe including a redirection member structured to redirect image light that is received by the loupe; one or more magnifying members structured to magnify the image light; a viewport structured to allow passage of the magnified image light. The loupe is secured through one of the lenses such that the magnified image light is presented though the viewport to an eye of the wearer while the wearer is wearing the device.
Claims18
An optical medical device for providing an ergonomic head-position, the device comprising:
- glasses comprising:
- one or more lenses configured and directed to permit a wearer a broad view of an environment from a first perspective;
- contact members having one or more contact-surfaces formed to secure the glasses to a head of the wearer while the wearer is wearing the device;
- one or more loupes, each loupe comprising:
- a coupleable housing device distinct from an integral housing, the coupleable housing device fixedly securing a redirection member structured to redirect image light that is received by the loupe;
- the integral housing that fixedly secures one or more magnifying members configured to magnify the image light;
- a viewport structured to allow passage of the magnified image light;
- wherein the coupleable housing device:
- is removably coupled to the integral housing by way of a coupling fixture comprising a threaded clamp that, when tightened with a screw, clamps onto the integral housing;
- and
- comprises a hinge about which a movable portion of the coupleable housing device rotates relative to a stationary portion, the hinge being configured to bias rotation of the movable portion toward one of a plurality of positions;
- wherein the loupe is secured through one of the lenses such that, when the movable portion is in a first position, the magnified image light is presented though the viewport to an eye of the wearer while the wearer is wearing the optical medical device;
- wherein the presented magnified image light provides the wearer with a magnified view of the environment from a second perspective as a result of the structure of the loupe;
- and
- wherein, when the movable portion is in a second position, redirection member is out of a viewpath of the wearer.
A coupleable optical device comprising:
- a coupleable housing device comprising a coupling fixture comprising a threaded clamp that, when tightened with a screw, clamps onto an integral housing of a loupe, wherein the coupleable housing device:
- is removably coupleable to the integral housing by way of the coupling fixture;
- and
- comprises a hinge about which a movable portion of the coupleable housing device rotates relative to a stationary portion, the hinge being configured to bias rotation of the movable portion toward one of a plurality of positions;
- an ingress port;
- an egress port;
- and
- a redirection member fixedly secured to the coupleable housing device the redirection member structured to redirect light;
- wherein:
- the ingress port is positioned to deliver ingress light to the redirection member;
- the egress port is positioned to delivery egress light to the loupe while the coupling fixture couples the coupleable optical device to the loupe and while the movable portion is in a first position;
- the ingress light being angularly offset from the egress light such that a view axis of the loupe is angularly offset from the ingress light while the optical device is coupled to the loupe,
- wherein, when the movable portion is in a second position, redirection member is out of a viewpath of a wearer.
