Light-filtering optical accessory

A medical image reviewing system for controlling the intensity and wavelength of light that is perceived by a user to achieve optimal contrasts when viewing medical images, the medical image reviewing system comprising:

• at least one medical image displaying monitor, and
• a light-filtering optical eyewear including:
• an eyewear frame, the eyewear frame including a first temple, a second temple, and a lens frame, the lens frame being centrally connected between the first temple and the second temple;
• a first ambient light shield, the first ambient light shield being connected along the first temple;
• a second ambient light shield, the second ambient light shield being connected along the second temple;
• a light-filtering lens assembly configured to optimize the contrasts of the medical images being viewed by the user and maintain activation of rods in the eyes of the user for low light level viewing by the user, the light-filtering lens assembly including a voltage-driven display, the voltage-driven display being a liquid crystal light filter and mounted onto the eyewear frame and being configured to adjust a total transmittance of light and a color of the voltage-driven display based on a voltage provided to the voltage-driven display,
• when the user is in a dark room, the total transmittance of light of the voltage-driven display being adjustable to be within the range of approximately 85-95% transmittance of light and the color of the voltage-driven display being yellow, and
• when the user is in a lighted area or in daylight, the total transmittance of light of the voltage-driven display being adjustable to be within the range of approximately 40-60% transmittance of light and the color of the voltage-driven display being red;
• an electrical system, the electrical system being electrically coupled to the light-filtering lens assembly, the electrical system including:
• a processor;
• a power source;
• and
• a potentiometer, the potentiometer being configured to manually adjust the voltage provided to the voltage-driven display;
• and
• at least one ambient light sensor, the at least one ambient light sensor being electrically coupled to the electrical system and being configured to automatically adjust the voltage provided to the voltage-driven display.
