Abstract
The present invention relates to an eyewear device comprising a system for alerting of a need of an eye examination and/or a change of frame and/or a change of lens of the eyewear device, in order to provide the best visual correction and comfort. The invention also relates to a process for monitoring the need of an eye examination and/or a change of frame and/or lens of an eyewear device, comprising using an eyewear device according to the invention, and to a process for manufacturing an eyewear device according to the invention.
Claims14
An eyewear device comprising a frame and at least one lens,
- wherein the device comprises at least one indicator which is able to change,
- wherein the at least one indicator change is induced by at least one stimulus, and
- wherein the at least one indicator change is indicative of a need of an eye examination and/or a change of frame and/or a change of lens of the eyewear device,
- wherein at least one stimulus is an exposition to a predetermined mechanical constraint and the corresponding change is indicative of a need of a change of frame.
A process for monitoring the need of an eye examination and/or a change of frame and/or lens of an eyewear device, comprising using an eyewear device comprising a frame and at least one lens,
- wherein the device comprises at least one indicator which is able to change,
- wherein the at least one indicator change is induced by at least one stimulus, and
- wherein the at least one indicator change is indicative of a need of an eye examination and/or a change of frame and/or a change of lens of the eyewear device,
- wherein at least one stimulus is an exposition to a predetermined mechanical constraint and the corresponding change is indicative of a need of a change of frame.
A process for manufacturing an eyewear device comprising a frame and at least one lens,
- wherein the device comprises at least one indicator which is able to change,
- wherein the at least one indicator change is induced by at least one stimulus, and
- wherein the at least one indicator change is indicative of a need of an eye examination and/or a change of frame and/or a change of lens of the eyewear device, comprising the steps of:
- a) providing at least one indicator which is able to change,
- b) determining at least one parameter value which, upon reach, should trigger a change of the at least one indicator, and
- c) positioning the at least one indicator on at least one frame or lens area of an eyewear device,
- wherein at least one stimulus is an exposition to a predetermined mechanical constraint and the corresponding change is indicative of a need of a change of frame.
