Abstract
An adapter for a spectacle frame is disclosed which is configured for enabling the spectacle frame to operate and control electro-active lenses housed therein. In particular, the spectacle frame may allow electro-active lenses housed therein to focus and be controlled both automatically and manually with heretofore unrealized results.
Claims24
A method of manufacturing an electro-active lens product comprising:
- providing an optical lens with an electro-active element that changes optical power;
- providing a transparent electrical lead to provide power to the electro-active element;
- providing at least one power source connection to the optical lens connected with the transparent electrical lead;
- edging the optical lens to at least partially expose an electrical lead of the power source connection;
- and
- connecting the electrical lead of the power source connection to at least one of an electrical power source, a power switch, and a sensor that detects the presence of user of the optical lens.

An electro-active lens product comprising:
- an optical lens with an electro-active element;
- a transparent electrical lead configured to provide power to the electro-active element;
- and
- at least one power source connection in the optical lens connected with the transparent electrical lead,
- wherein an electrical lead of the power source connection is at least partially exposed on an edge of, or in a recess of, the optical lens and connected to at least one of an electrical power source, a power switch, and a sensor that detects the presence of a user of the optical lens.
