Abstract
A unitary lens structure is provided which is employable with spectacles as well as goggles and safety eyewear and AR and VR eyewear. The lens is formed as a unitary structure with a curved first lens having one or a plurality of projections thereon having surfaces which are formable to prescription eyewear providing vertical vision correction and curved horizontal vision correction.
Claims12
A corrective lens comprising:
- a first lens portion extending in a curve from a first end thereof to a second end thereof;
- a central area of said first lens portion in between said first end and second end of said first lens portion;
- said first lens portion having a first surface opposite a second surface on an opposite side from said first surface;
- a first projecting portion extending from said first surface of said first lens portion, said first projecting portion having a first sidewall thereof extending to a first side surface thereof;
- said first projecting portion extending in a first curve from a first side of said first sidewall thereof within said central area of said first lens portion to a second side of said first sidewall thereof located adjacent said first end of said first lens portion;
- said first side surface of said first projecting portion being processable to form said first projecting portion to said first corrective lens along said first curve providing horizontal vision correction therethrough along said first curve;
- said first side of said first projecting portion processable for vertical vision correction therethrough, between a top of said first sidewall of said first projecting portion and an opposite bottom of said first sidewall of said first projecting portion;
- said first side surface of said first projecting portion being processable to form a first corrective lens thereon;
- a second projecting portion extending from said first surface of said first lens portion, said second projecting portion having a second sidewall extending to a second side surface thereof;
- said second projecting portion extending in a second curve from a first side of said second sidewall thereof within said central area of said first lens portion, to a second side of said second sidewall located adjacent said second end of said first lens portion;
- said second side surface of said second projecting portion being processable for curved horizontal vision correction therethrough along said second curve;
- said second side surface of said second projecting portion processable for vertical vision correction therethrough, between a top of said second sidewall of said second projecting portion and an opposite bottom of said second sidewall of said first projecting portion;
- and
- wherein said first lens portion is operatively engageable with an eyeglass frame, goggle, or an AR or VR headset, which is positionable to an as-worn position upon a user locating the first surface thereof facing the eyes of a user with the first projecting portion aligned with a first eye of the user and said second projecting portion aligned with a second eye of the user.
A corrective lens for employment in combination with an AR or VR eyewear, said corrective lens comprising:
- a first lens portion extending in a curve from a first end thereof to a second end thereof;
- a central area of said first lens portion in between said first end and second end of said first lens portion;
- said first lens portion having a first surface opposite a second surface on an opposite side from said first surface;
- a first projecting portion extending from said first surface of said first lens portion in a first curve, said first projecting portion having a first sidewall thereof extending to a first side surface thereof;
- said first side surface of said first projecting portion being processable to form a first curved corrective lens thereon;
- a second projecting portion extending from said first surface of said first lens portion, said second projecting portion having a second sidewall thereof extending to a second side surface thereof;
- said second projecting portion extending in a second curve from a first side of said second sidewall thereof within said central area of said first lens portion, to a second side of said second sidewall located adjacent said second end of said first lens portion;
- said second side surface of said second projecting portion being processable for curved horizontal vision correction therethrough along said second curve;
- said second side surface of said second projecting portion processable for vertical vision correction therethrough, between a top of said second sidewall of said second projecting portion and an opposite bottom of said second sidewall of said first projecting portion;
- and
- said first lens portion being operatively engageable with an AR or VR headset locating the first surface thereof to an as used position facing the eyes of a user with the first projecting portion aligned with a first eye of the user and said second projecting portion is aligned with a second eye of the user.
A corrective lens comprising:
- a first lens portion extending in a curve from a first end thereof to a second end thereof;
- a central area of said first lens portion in between said first end and second end of said first lens portion;
- said first lens portion having a first surface opposite a second surface on an opposite side from said first surface;
- a first projecting portion extending from said first surface of said first lens portion, said first projecting portion having a sidewall thereof extending to a first side surface area of said first lens portion;
- said first projecting portion extending in a first curve thereof toward said first end of said first lens portion;
- said first side surface area being processable to form a first curved corrective lens providing curved vision correction therethrough along said first curve;
- a second projecting portion extending from said first surface of said first lens portion, said second projecting portion having a sidewall thereof extending to a second side surface area of said second projecting portion;
- said second projecting portion extending in a second curve thereof in a direction away from said first projecting portion and toward said second end of said first lens portion;
- said second side surface area being processable to form a second curved corrective lens providing curved vision correction therethrough along said second curve;
- and
- wherein said first lens portion is operatively engageable with an eyeglass frame, goggle, or an AR or VR headset, which is positionable to an as-worn position upon a user, locating the first surface thereof facing the eyes of a user with the first side surface area aligned with a first eye of the user and said second side surface area aligned with a second eye of said user to thereby provided curved vision correction to said user.
