Abstract
Composite curved lightguides including prescription layers and/or protective layers are bonded together using index-matched adhesives. To obtain total internal reflection within the lightguide, a Chiolite layer is included on at least one side of the lightguide. For example, a Chiolite layer is included between the lightguide and an outer, world-facing protective layer, which is index matched to the lightguide. Due to the moisture susceptibility of the Chiolite, the adhesive coats the Chiolite layer to provide a moisture barrier.
