Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A design approach to low-vision device development-vision multiplexing-was introduced recently. This approach has been applied successfully to the design of novel electronic and optical low-vision aids. This paper discusses the application of the vision-multiplexing concept to spectacle lens design to address issues of low vision and to resolve problems of color discrimination and glare in driving. Because spectacles are considered a fashion accessory as much as they are a vision aid, cosmetic considerations are critical to the design of such aids. Spectacle-borne devices that are not concealed or attractive are unlikely to be used widely. Efforts to combine the functionality of vision multiplexing with improved appearance are illustrated. |
