Soft optical patch with light filtration and vision correction for ophthalmic applications

A removable optical patch for an optical article, comprising:

• a first surface and a second surface, wherein at least one microstructure is patterned on the second surface to form a microstructure pattern, the microstructure pattern including a plurality of microlenses configured to adjust a focus of the optical article, and
• a first dye, having a first dye peak absorbance wavelength with a first dye bandwidth, wherein the first dye is configured to filter a first predetermined range of light wavelengths,
• a protective layer comprising a protective microstructure pattern, the protective microstructure pattern having a plurality of protective microstructures arranged complementary to an arrangement of a plurality of optical microstructures of the microstructure pattern, the arrangement of the plurality of optical microstructures being disposed in the complementary arrangement of the protective microstructures,
• a second dye, in the protective layer, configured to filter a second predetermined range of light wavelengths, the second dye including a second dye peak absorbance wavelength with a second dye bandwidth,
• wherein the optical patch comprises two smooth sides along an exterior of the optical patch to which the optical patch is removably attached to the optical article with electrostatic forces, or with surface tension of a liquid.
