Mechanical design of a power-adjustable spectacle lens frame.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Power-adjustable spectacle lenses, based on the Alvarez-Lohmann principle, can be used to provide affordable spectacles for subjective refractive errors measurement and its correction. A new mechanical frame has been designed to maximize the advantages of this technology. The design includes a mechanism to match the interpupillary distance with that of the optical centers of the lenses. The frame can be manufactured using low cost plastic injection molding techniques. A prototype has been built to test the functioning of this mechanical design.

متن کاملAdjustable-focus lenses based on the Alvarez principle
We present a comprehensive approach for the design of adjustable-focus lenses based on the Alvarez principle. The design methodology consists of dividing the lens into two parts: the inner, optical part, where the optical quality is optimized, and the outer, mechanical part, connecting the optical part to the frame. For the optical part, we present a complete optical design methodology to minim...
متن کاملIn-the-Spectacle-Lens Telescopic Device for Low Vision
Spectacle-mounted telescopic systems are prescribed for individuals with visual impairments. Bioptic telescopes are typically mounted toward the top of the spectacle lens (or above the frame) with the telescope eyepiece positioned above the wearer’s pupil. This allows the wearer to use up and down head tilt movements to quickly alternate between the unmagnified wide view (through the carrier le...

Chemical leucoderma is an acquired hypopigmented dermatosis caused by repeated exposure to specific chemical compounds, notably the aromatic or aliphatic derivatives of phenols andcatechols which are commonly present in the rubber and plastic materials. Herein, we report a case of chemical leucoderma in a 55-year-old male, appearing bilaterally over the retroauricular areas, which appeared afte...
متن کاملCorrection of Presbyopia with a New Adjustable Spectacle Lens
In the quest for a solution to presbyopia and due to the inability to restore the eye's system itself, man in the last centuries resoned to a continuous evolution of increasingly sophisticated types of eyeglasses (Fowler and Patreas, 1991). What technology has had to offer so far, as practical products, were glasses that utilize rigid lenses. The most advanced solution on the market today is sp...
