AUGMENTED REALITY EYEPIECE WITH SECONDARY ATTACHED OPTIC FOR SURROUNDINGS ENVIRONMENT VISION CORRECTION
First Claim
1. An interactive head-mounted eyepiece, comprising:
- an optical assembly through which a user views a surrounding environment and displayed content, wherein the optical assembly comprises;
an optical waveguide enabling internal reflection bounces;
a coupling lens disposed adjacent to an optical display to direct an image to the optical waveguide; and
a see-through correction lens attached to an exterior surface of the optical waveguide that enables proper viewing of the surrounding environment whether there is displayed content or not;
an integrated processor for handling content for display to the user; and
an integrated image source for introducing the content to the optical assembly, wherein the image source comprises a light source and the optical display.

Abstract
This disclosure concerns an interactive head-mounted eyepiece with an integrated processor for handling content for display and an integrated image source for introducing the content to an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and the displayed content. The eyepiece includes a see-through correction lens that attaches to an exterior surface of an optical waveguide of the eyepiece and enables proper viewing of the surrounding environment whether there is displayed content or not. Alternatively, the see-through correction lens is polarized, attaches to at least one of the optical waveguide and a frame of the eyepiece, and blocks oppositely polarized light reflected from the user'"'"'s eye to minimize eyeglow. The see-through correction lens may also protect the optical waveguide.
