Abstract

The invention relates to a spectacle lens device comprising at least one electrically adaptive area, wherein optical properties of the spectacle lens device can be controlled in an electric manner. The spectacle lens device is configured in such a manner that the optical properties of a predetermined or predeterminable control area can be controlled in an electrical manner which is essentially independent from the optical properties in a surrounding area. The invention also relates to the control area and to the surrounding area, respectively, about a partial area of the electrically adaptive area. The control area and the surrounding area do not a common area. The invention further relates to a pair of spectacles comprising a spectacle lens device, to the use of the inventive spectacle lens device and also to a method for operating an electrically adaptive area.
