CONTACT LENSES WITH APPARENT MOTION AND OTHER OPTICAL EFFECTS

摘要

Static images or patterns may be incorporated into one or more regions of a cosmetic contact lens to achieve a new dimensional effect; namely, the appearance or illusion of motion. More particularly, repeated asymmetric patterns with the appropriate contrast and luminance incorporated into one or more regions of the contact lens will result in the one or more regions providing the appearance of motion. Other optical or visual illusions may also be incorporated into a cosmetic contact lens.
