An improved handgrip adapter system for a bicycle which provides closely spaced handgrips positioned below and in front the a normal bicycle handlebar crosspiece. The handgrips comprise a pair of tubular members having clamps at one end adapted to be clamped to the crosspiece of normal bicycle handlebars. The tubes extend forward and downward from the crosspiece, curving down and back to provide a comfortable gripping surface for a rider. The handgrips may be positioned a suitable distance apart, selected in accordance with the size and preference of the rider, with the handgrips preferably positioned so that the hands low and are relatively close together, so that the rider's hands and arms are within the horizontal chest dimension. The handgrips extend further to the front than the handlebar handgrips, so that the rider's back is substantially horizontal. The handgrips extend slightly toward each other to acccommodate the rider's arms angling in from the shoulders for maximum riding comfort.

A surgically implantable synthetic intraocular lens having a wavelength blocker for blocking transmission of 100% or at least a portion of blue light of wavelengths between about 400 and 510 nanometers, as well as for blocking ultraviolet A and B wavelengths and optionally infrared wavelength transmissions. A preferred wavelength transmission blocker is a tint composition either disposed exteriorly upon the lens or blended interiorly within the lens. Lens utility is found in replacement of the natural crystalline lens to achieve visual correction of aphakia, as well as in correcting refractive errors of the eye through implantation without removal of the natural crystalline lens to thereby provide filtering properties that yield maximum visual acuity along with blockage of untoward wavelength transmissions. The lens implants thereby support vision health by protecting eyes from damage caused through the transmission of untoward wavelengths to the interior of the eye.

351/159000, 351/163000

Optically superior eyeglasses comprising a frame and a pair of lenses which are attached to the frame and are positionable over respective ones of the wearer's eyes. Each of the lenses defines an optical center and comprises a convex front surface having a first radius of curvature and a concave back surface having a second radius of curvature which is less than the first radius of curvature so as to impart a negative power to the lens. The frame is sized and configured such that when positioned upon the wearer's head, the lenses are supported thereby in a manner wherein the normal line of sight of each of the wearer's eyes crosses the back surface of a respective one of the lenses at a selected wrap angle and at a location nasal to the optical center thereof so as to induce a base-in prism effect

A plano-aspheric spectacle lens that is particularly beneficial under night and low-light conditions and/or by those who have had refractive surgery. A first refractive surface of the lens, preferably the back or concave side, has an aspheric surface with a power of from about minus 0. 20 to minus 0. 37 diopters and a central, generally circular, spherical area having no power and a diameter of from about 1 to 5 mm. If any corrections are required for eye anomalies such as refractive error, astigmatism or the like, those corrections are applied to the lens surface opposite the plano-aspheric surface, preferably the back or concave surface.
