Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of eyewear technology, and more particularly to compound eye soft-focus and vision-enhancing pinhole glasses. Background Technology
[0002] Eyeglasses are a common tool in people's work and daily life, including refractive glasses, protective glasses, and special glasses, which greatly improve the effectiveness of eye protection.
[0003] Pinhole glasses are glasses with multiple tiny holes on the lens. Their design principle is based on the "pinhole imaging" effect in optics. Light passes through the small hole, reducing scattering and focusing directly onto the retina, thereby temporarily improving image clarity. Existing pinhole glasses distribute small holes on non-transparent lenses to achieve the effect of improving image clarity.
[0004] This optical intervention, based on the theory of retinal contrast, creates light diffusion areas on the lens. Through a specially designed lens structure, it reduces high-contrast signals on the retina and weakens the light entering the eye, thereby slowing the progression of myopia. Its core principle can be summarized as follows: light scattering and contrast modulation. The lens surface is distributed with light diffusion points of varying sizes, or regular or irregular lines or surfaces (such as "mosaic" dots or frosted areas). These structures scatter incident light, creating a soft optical transition in the peripheral vision. This design reduces the signal intensity difference between adjacent cone cells (i.e., reduces contrast), thereby inhibiting the "elongation signal" transmitted from the retina to the eyeball and slowing axial elongation. The synergistic effect of central clarity and peripheral soft focus: a central transparent area retains an unprocessed correction area to ensure clear imaging of the central vision; a peripheral scattering area, where light diffusion technology artificially defocuses the light, replicating and simulating the low-contrast visual state in the natural environment, avoiding the myopia progression caused by high-contrast stimulation, thus achieving a control effect.
[0005] No existing technology has found lenses that combine pinholes with light diffusion. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a compound eye soft light enhancement and light diffusion pinhole glasses that combine a pinhole with light diffusion.
[0007] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a compound eye soft light enhancement and light diffusion pinhole glasses, comprising a lens body, wherein a plurality of light-transmitting pinholes are distributed on the lens body, and a light diffusion area is provided between two adjacent light-transmitting pinholes, wherein the light transmittance of the light diffusion area is lower than the light transmittance of the light-transmitting pinholes.
[0008] Furthermore, the light-transmitting aperture is either a solid aperture or a hollow aperture.
[0009] Furthermore, the light diffusion region includes a light diffusion layer, which is disposed on the inner and / or outer side of the lens body.
[0010] Furthermore, the light diffusion layer is achieved through one or more of the following methods: coating, sanding, engraving, etching, painting, and dyeing.
[0011] Furthermore, the aperture of the light-transmitting hole is 0.5-5mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the distance between two adjacent light-transmitting holes is 0.1-5mm.
[0013] Furthermore, the lens body is one of the following: a refractive correction lens, a protective lens, or a special lens.
[0014] Furthermore, the refractive correction lenses include myopia glasses, presbyopia glasses, single-focal glasses, bifocal glasses, progressive glasses, anti-fatigue glasses, prism lenses, bifocal prism lenses, conch shell defocus lenses, multi-point defocus lenses, dot diffusion glasses, cataract glasses, and contact lenses; The protective lenses include photochromic lenses, sunglasses, and night vision glasses; The specialized lenses include driving mirrors and telescopes.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Compound eye soft light enhancement and vision-enhancing light diffusion pinhole glasses include a lens body, on which multiple light-transmitting pinholes are distributed. A light diffusion area is provided between two adjacent light-transmitting pinholes. The light transmittance of the light diffusion area is lower than that of the light-transmitting pinholes. The light-transmitting pinholes improve the imaging clarity of this area, while the light diffusion area reduces the light entering the eye, replicating and simulating the low-contrast visual state in the natural environment, and avoiding the myopia progression caused by high-contrast stimulation.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, a compound eye soft light enhancement and light diffusion pinhole glasses includes a lens substrate 1 with multiple light-transmitting pinholes 3 distributed on the lens substrate 1. There is a light diffusion area 2 between two adjacent light-transmitting pinholes 3. The light transmittance of the light diffusion area 2 is lower than that of the light-transmitting pinholes 3. It is used for myopia prevention and control in adolescents aged 6-18.
[0021] Lens substrate 1 is a refractive corrective lens, specifically a myopia lens.
[0022] The material can be one of resin, acrylic, PC, or glass; in this embodiment, resin is selected.
[0023] The aperture of the light-transmitting hole 3 is 2mm and is a solid hole. The shape of the light-transmitting hole 3 can be one or a combination of circles, ellipses, regular polygons, and star-shaped polygons. In this embodiment, a circle is specifically selected for ease of processing.
[0024] The light-transmitting apertures 3 are distributed in a ring or matrix pattern; in this embodiment, a ring distribution is selected.
[0025] The light-transmitting aperture 3 accounts for 50% of the area of the lens substrate 1.
[0026] The light diffusion region 2 includes a light diffusion layer, which is disposed on the inner and / or outer side of the lens substrate 1. The light diffusion layer is achieved by one or more of the following methods: coating, sanding, engraving, etching, writing, printing, and integral molding. The coating process includes the following steps: Step 1: Make lens substrate 1. Make lens substrate 1 using a mold and set it aside. Step 2: Fabricate the membrane by drilling small holes in it to obtain the pre-fabricated membrane; Step 3, coating: the pre-made film is laminated onto the lens substrate 1 to obtain the lens blank. Light-transmitting holes 3 are formed at the small hole positions, and light diffusion layers are formed at the remaining positions. Step 4: Cutting. Cut the lens blank into a predetermined shape to obtain the lens substrate 1, which is then installed onto the eyeglass frame.
[0027] One-piece molding includes the following steps; Step A: Make a mold and create patterns on the mold corresponding to the light diffusion area 2 to obtain the mold; Step B, molding: resin is injected into the mold, and after the resin is cured, a lens blank is obtained, and a light diffusion zone 2 is formed at the position corresponding to the texture. Step C, cutting: cut the lens blank into a predetermined shape to obtain lens substrate 1, which is then installed onto the eyeglass frame.
[0028] In this embodiment, a coating process is selected.
[0029] The compound eye soft-light vision-enhancing pinhole glasses obtained in this embodiment, with the light diffusion area remaining constant, result in a larger light diffusion area, clearer pinhole imaging, and greater relaxation of the pupillary sphincter and accommodation. Students with strong accommodation can appropriately enlarge the light diffusion area to achieve the best visual clarity and myopia control effect. Students wearing these glasses experience effective maintenance of visual clarity and a significant reduction in accommodative burden during daily study and reading. The structure of the light diffusion area combined with the light-transmitting pinhole makes the light entering the eye softer, helping to relieve ciliary muscle tension caused by prolonged eye use, thereby slowing down the progression of myopia. Especially in mid-to-close-range eye use scenarios such as classroom blackboard writing and book reading, users report reduced visual fatigue and improved attention and sustained reading ability.
[0030] Example 2 like Figure 2 As shown, a compound eye soft light enhancement and light diffusion pinhole glasses, unlike Example 1, is used to reduce the damage of strong light to the eyes.
[0031] Lens substrate 1 is a refractive corrective lens, specifically an anti-fatigue eyeglass.
[0032] The material can be one of resin, acrylic, PC, or glass; in this embodiment, PC is selected.
[0033] The aperture of the light-transmitting hole 3 is 3mm and is a solid hole. The shape of the light-transmitting hole 3 is one or a combination of circles, ellipses, regular polygons, and star-shaped polygons. In this embodiment, a regular hexagon is specifically selected.
[0034] The light-transmitting apertures 3 are distributed in a ring or matrix pattern; in this embodiment, a matrix distribution is selected.
[0035] The light-transmitting aperture 3 accounts for 75% of the area of the lens substrate 1.
[0036] The light diffusion region 2 includes a light diffusion layer, which is disposed on the inner and / or outer side of the lens substrate 1. The light diffusion layer is achieved by one or more of the following methods: coating, sanding, engraving, etching, writing, printing, and integral molding. The coating process includes the following steps: Step 1: Make lens substrate 1. Make lens substrate 1 using a mold and set it aside. Step 2: Fabricate the membrane by drilling small holes in it to obtain the pre-fabricated membrane; Step 3, coating: the pre-made film is laminated onto the lens substrate 1 to obtain the lens blank. Light-transmitting holes 3 are formed at the small hole positions, and light diffusion layers are formed at the remaining positions. Step 4: Cutting. Cut the lens blank into a predetermined shape to obtain the lens substrate 1, which is then installed onto the eyeglass frame.
[0037] One-piece molding includes the following steps; Step A: Make a mold and create patterns on the mold corresponding to the light diffusion area 2 to obtain the mold; Step B, molding: resin is injected into the mold, and after the resin is cured, a lens blank is obtained, and a light diffusion zone 2 is formed at the position corresponding to the texture. Step C, cutting: cut the lens blank into a predetermined shape to obtain lens substrate 1, which is then installed onto the eyeglass frame.
[0038] In this embodiment, a one-piece molding process is selected.
[0039] The compound eye soft-focus vision-enhancing pinhole glasses obtained in this embodiment, after being processed with lenses of the same power into pinhole glasses, significantly improve the user's vision, improving their ability to read an eye chart by at least one line. Simultaneously, when viewing strong light sources such as lamps and mobile phones, the light becomes noticeably weaker and softer, relaxing the pupillary sphincter and ciliary muscle (accommodation) to prevent fatigue. The longer the glasses are worn, the more relaxed the eyes feel. These glasses effectively reduce the glare from strong light sources such as lamps and screens, making the light distribution more uniform and softer. Wearers generally report a significant reduction in glare discomfort during outdoor activities or at night when using electronic devices, with improved visual contrast and comfort. For office workers who need to use computers for extended periods, this structure helps reduce eye strain and related symptoms, improving visual tolerance during long work hours.
[0040] The compound eye soft-focus vision-enhancing pinhole glasses provided in Examples 1 and 2, after testing, generally indicate that the lower the light transmittance of the light diffusion area 2, the better the pinhole imaging clarity. However, lower light transmittance in the light diffusion area 2 leads to more severe ghosting, affecting vision and comfort. A larger proportion of the entire lens's light diffusion area results in excessively low light transmittance, making it difficult to see in the dark and impacting nighttime work. Therefore, in practical applications, the light transmittance of the light diffusion area 2 and its proportion within the entire lens should be designed according to different visual needs.
[0041] The light transmittance of the light diffusion area 2, the ratio of the light diffusion area 2 to the light-transmitting apertures 3, as well as the aperture diameter and spacing of the apertures all affect the light diffusion effect and visual clarity. These glasses can achieve a balance between visual quality and protective effect by adjusting the aperture diameter, distribution ratio of the light-transmitting apertures, and the light transmittance of the light diffusion area according to different usage needs. In well-lit environments, they ensure sufficient visual clarity while also relaxing eye muscles and blocking some harmful light. In dim environments, optimized design avoids excessively low light transmittance, catering to visual needs in low-light indoor or nighttime scenarios.
[0042] The compound eye soft light enhancement and light diffusion pinhole glasses provided by this invention can effectively prevent myopia in students, soften light to prevent fatigue, and protect the eyes from light. This product combines the traditional pinhole imaging principle with modern optical diffusion technology. It is not only suitable for myopia prevention and control in teenagers, but also for visual protection for users of digital devices for long periods of time. It has good market adaptability and promotion value.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
