Optical apparatuses for enhancing scotopic vision. The optical apparatuses include a lens. In some instances, the optical apparatuses include a frame. The lens has an optical power adapted to focus light specifically under scotopic vision conditions in a user's eye. In some examples, the optical apparatuses include a spectral filter adapted to allow transmission of selected wavelengths of light through the spectral filter.

Optical apparatuses for enhancing scotopic vision

A highly visible overlay system includes contrasting visible elements configured to define an image overlay, a first portion of the visible elements comprises opaque elements having high contrast with bright areas of a field of view, and a second portion of the visible elements comprises illuminated elements having high contrast with darker elements of the field of view. The system may capture an image of a target scene for display and include a processing component configured to construct the plurality of contrasting visual elements in accordance with a visual acuity factor, and generate an electronic overlay constructed of the contrasting visual elements. The overlay may comprise a reticle formed on an optical element of a scope, including nonilluminated opaque portions and illuminated portions illuminated by a light source.
