Vision compensation
First Claim
1. A vision compensation system comprising a support frame adapted for wearing by a user, said frame carrying at least one optical member with a variable optical characteristic, means including sensor means carried by said frame for producing an eye position signal as a function of the relative angular positions of the eyes of the wearer and means responsive to said eye position signal for changing the variable optical characteristic of said one optical member to provide compensation for impaired accommodative capacity of the wearer'"'"'s eye.

Abstract
A vision compensation system includes a lens receiving frame with a pair of lens members, at least one of which has variable optical compensation capabilities. Carried by the frame are means for producing a signal as a function of the relative angular positions of the eyes of the wearer and means responsive to that signal for changing the optical characteristics of the variable lens to provide compensation for impaired accommodative capacity of the wearer'"'"'s eye.

9. A vision compensation system comprising a support frame adapted for wearing by a user, said frame carrying at least one optical member that includes two lens elements spaced to define a chamber therebetween, means including sensor means carried by said frame for producing an eye position signal as a function of the relative angular positions of the eyes of the wearer and means responsive to said eye position signal for transferring a working fluid to and from said chamber for changing the focal length of said one optical member to provide compensation for impaired accommodative capacity of the wearer'"'"'s eye.
- 10. A vision compensation system comprising a support frame of conventional spectacle configuration adapted for wearing by a user, said frame carrying two separate lens systems, each having a variable focal length capability, means including sensor means carried by said frame for producing an eye position signal as a function of the relative angular positions of the eyes of the wearer and means responsive to said eye position signal for changing the focal length of at least one of said lens systems to provide compensation for impaired accommodative capacity of the wearer'"'"'s eye.
