Background
Goggles, also called as wind-proof goggles, are designed for riding people at first, and compared with common eyeglasses, the windproof goggles have stronger wrapping property, can fully isolate human eyes from the outside, and prevent dust and air current from entering the human eyes during riding, so the windproof eyeglasses are set to be eyeglasses for protecting the eyes of a wearer in a popular way.
At present, goggles with two forms are available on the market, one is an integrated goggle, the outline shape of the integrated goggle is directly cut by a whole lens, and the other is a common spectacle similar to a double-lens, and two separated lenses are embedded on a spectacle frame; the goggles in the two forms have certain spherical radian and are used for being attached to eyes of a human body, generally, the radian is closer to the eyes, the wrapping performance is better, and the wind-proof capacity is better.
However, in terms of the current production technology, the goggles in two forms do not have the function of correcting vision, taking the near vision lens in the dioptric lens as an example, the near vision lens is a concave lens, and the integrated goggles have a narrow processing space at one side of the lens close to the eye because the whole lens has a radian, so that the processing of the high-precision concave lens in the narrow and limited space has extremely high requirements on processing equipment and processes, and the current production technology cannot be realized; because the radian of myopia lens is less, and the whole radian of goggles is great and be "streamlined", if with double-lens replacement for myopia lens, then the whole pitch arc of goggles is "non-streamlined" to the myopia lens has increased the windward side, makes prevent wind the effect and descends, consequently, double-lens goggles is also not fit for assembling myopia lens.
Through search, the windproof glasses with the patent number of CN200720170823.4 discloses that the windproof glasses are worn while the myopia glasses are worn, and particularly, a space for the myopia glasses to be placed (abducted) is reserved on an inner liner at the rear of a glasses frame, so that the eyes of a wearer can prevent wind and correct the vision. However, wearing two pairs of glasses at the same time can cause the eyes to be stressed heavily and increase the discomfort of the eyes. Therefore, the existing windproof glasses have certain limitations.
In view of the immaturity of the glasses technology and the imperfect fusion of the functions of wind prevention and vision correction, the market scale of the wind prevention and vision correction glasses is smaller at present, so that a technology for solving the problem of the current industry situation is urgently needed to be developed to develop the market.
