Method and apparatus for design and fabrication of customized eyewear
First Claim
1. Customized eyewear comprising:
- a first lens having a front surface, a back surface, and a perimeter, wherein the perimeter is customized for a wearer;
a second lens having a front surface, a back surface, and a perimeter, wherein the perimeter is customized for the wearer; and
a frame, said first and second lenses attached to said frame, wherein the frame is customized for the wearer,wherein the perimeter of the first lens or the second lens is customized based on extraction of a plurality of points taken in three-dimensional space.

Abstract
Eyewear can include lenses having perimeters that are customized for an intended wearer. The perimeter of the lenses can be determined based on anatomical features of the wearer'"'"'s face, the wearer'"'"'s field of vision, or other parameters specific to that individual. Determination of the lens perimeters can involve developing a three-dimensional model of a wearer'"'"'s face and/or head, demarcating a lens perimeter over an obtained image of a user'"'"'s face, or delineating the boundary of a wearer'"'"'s peripheral vision. A provisional lens perimeter obtained by any of these methods may be modified in curvature and/or size to arrive at a desired final lens perimeter. Customized lenses can be fabricated based on the determined lens perimeters. The customized lenses can be assembled into completed eyewear that is customized for a wearer, for example having shapes, sizes, and designs not otherwise possible.

52. A method for producing customized eyewear, the method comprising:
-
receiving dimensions of a perimeter of a first lens, the perimeter being customized for a wearer, wherein the dimensions were obtained based on extraction of a plurality of points taken in three-dimensional space without requiring the wearer to wear eyewear; receiving dimensions of a perimeter of a second lens, the perimeter being customized for the wearer, wherein the dimensions were obtained based on extraction of a plurality of points taken in three-dimensional space without requiring the wearer to wear eyewear; and fabricating first and second lenses based on the received dimensions, and assembling the first and second lenses in a frame, wherein the frame is customized for the wearer. - View Dependent Claims (53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59)
