Dynamic Eye, a sunglass company that merges sunglasses with technology, has announced that they have finished the final testing stages for their LCD eyewear. According to Dynamic Eye’s website, this innovative eyewear will revolutionize the eyewear industry.

Dynamic Eye’s LCD sunglasses use LCD technology and a small camera to block glare directly. The LCD lenses can pinpoint sources of light and glare, and block out those small spots directly rather than darken the entire lens. This technology allows as much needed light to pass through the lens as possible, and block every small instance of unneeded light.

Though Dynamic Eye has stated that the technology has been tested and works, the company itself does not have the financial means to launch the product. They are currently accepting pledges, which are paid by preordering a pair of the LCD shades.

If the lenses for your eyeglasses simply aren’t good enough, how bout some electronic lenses that do the focusing for you? That’s what Panasonic and PixelOptics have in store for 2011.

According to a recent press release sent out by Panasonic’s corporate site, the Japanese electronics co. is working with PixelOptics to build lenses for emPower!, PixelOptic’s electronically focusing glasses.

Ron Blum, President and CEO of Pixel said, “I am delighted to be able to make this announcement. Panasonic is an outstanding company, with a long history of being best in class in electronics and manufacturing. They will deliver for Pixel an outstanding electronic focusing lens product.”

Ron Blum further stated, “The lens product that will be manufactured by Panasonic will be an electronic semi-finished lens blank that is made out of 1.67 thin and lightweight optical grade plastic material having a very thin layer of liquid crystal buried beneath the front surface of the lens blank. This allows for virtually all prescriptions to be fabricated. Semi-finished lens blanks are an industry standard, having a known finished curvature on the convex side of the lens blank and being unfinished on the other side. However, prior to emPower! these standard semi-finished lens blanks had a static focus. This means that once shaped into the proper prescription or focus the prescription is frozen and is not capable of a change of focus. The emPower! electronic semi-finished lens blanks represents the first electronic semi-finished lens blanks in the world. The emPower! electronic semi-finished lens blanks are capable of dynamic focus and with appropriate processing into finished lenses are capable of changing focus from far to near while allowing clear vision  of  everything in between once fabricated to the wearer’s eyeglass prescription.”

The glasses are intended for those who have bifocal or progressive lenses. The  lenses instantly focus on objects when they are up close. They are powered by a rechargeable battery and have three modes of operation: automatic, manual on, and manual off.

This business venture is led by Panasonic’s healthcare department, Panasonic Healthcare Co., Ltd. Yukinori Okazaki, Chief Technology Officer of Panasonic Healthcare Co., Ltd. added “It is indeed a pleasure to have now passed this project on to the Business Unit of Panasonic Healthcare Co., Ltd.  to assist  Pixel  in  its  scale  up  and  manufacturing  needs.   emPower!  represents  a  major  step  forward  for providing  better  vision  correction  to  the  millions  of  patients  worldwide  who  are  afflicted  with presbyopia.   Presbyopia  is  a  very  common  vision  disorder  that  affects  individuals  at  approximately  40 years  of  age.   It  causes  these  individuals  to  have  trouble  focusing  on  objects  that  are  close  at  first  and then also at their finger tip distance a few years later on.”

The lenses and glasses combo are expected to hot the market in late 2011, early 2012. Check back here for more details as this story develops.

Two new machines for eye doctors have recently been released that are revolutionizing the eye industry: The i.Profiler plus and the i.Scription. The i.Profiler plus is capable of measuring eye fractions down to 1/100 of a diopter, whereas standard eye test machines only go to 1/25.

The i.Profiler also measures other individual eye discrepancies, which it sends to the i.Scription to compute the eyeglass subscription. Many patients are receiving 20/16 to 20/13 vision, which is far better than standard 20/20.

A more accurate prescription can drastically improve night vision and reading vision. The i.Profiler plus can identify eye aberrations, corneal problems, and other eye problems that eyeglasses can help correct. This innovative technology is being compared to HD vision for eyeglass wearers.

Not all doctors are carrying the new i.Profiler or i.Scription, check with your local eye doctor to see if they have it in office.

You can get witch contact lenses for Halloween costumes from anyone who is authorized by the FDA to sell them to you but you should make sure that they ask you for a prescription. Due to this, you need to go see your eye doctor before purchasing them as you need to be able to get the proper prescription even if you don’t regularly wear contact lenses.

Getting contact lenses just for Halloween can really help to draw your outfit together but at the same time it is an expensive purchase to make simply for a costume, especially if you aren’t going to be entering into any costume contests or the like. For this reason, and this reason only, you should definitely think about considering what you may be interested in dressing as next year or whether or not you will be able to use the colored special effects contacts with some other costume if you need to just so that you know you aren’t spending a good deal of money or something that you will only be using once.

There are many different types of contacts, not just witch contact lenses for Halloween costumes. If you’re interested in being a cat then they have cat eye lenses but if you’re really into the Twilight series then you can get eyes like Edward Cullen or like the new vampires in New Moon. There are many different ways to change around your costume and make it unique but nothing is quite like having a colored special effect contact lens.

Wrap 230

This model connects to almost and video device, such as an iPhone, and enables the wearer to see multiple types of video, including 2D and 3D. Just plug the sunglasses into your phone or other device, put in your earbuds and enjoy all the qualities of a home theater.

Wrap 310

This model is like the 230, but offers its viewing screen in a 16:9 widescreen format.

Wrap 920

This is Vuzix’s most highly technological model available and offers a huge 67-inch virtual screen as seen from 10 feet.

Wrap 920AR

This model is the real kicker. It’s just like the 920, but it also has two cameras on the outside of lenses showing the real world. The strange part is that the camera lens merges with the video capabilities and “brings mixed and augmented reality to life.” I’m not even sure exactly what that means, but it sounds mind blowing.

These innovative shades are available online in most countries, and range in price from $169 to $349. You can find out more about these digital sunglasses here.
