Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices related to light therapy using ophthalmic lenses are disclosed. In one example aspect, an optical device includes an ophthalmic lens and a frame comprising a frame front configured to support the ophthalmic lens. The frame includes two temples configured to allow a user to wear the optical device. The optical device includes a coating that is deposited in multiple sub-regions of the ophthalmic lens. The optical device includes a light source coupled to each of the two temples of the frame. The light source is controllable to emit light directed at the coating of the ophthalmic lens such that a portion of the light reflected by the multiple sub-regions of the ophthalmic lens forms a spectrum of light that has different wavelength bands corresponding to different therapeutical effects on the user.
