Claim 14:
15. An electronic contact lens system comprising:
a pair of electronic contact lenses mountable on a user's two eyes, each electronic contact lens comprising:
an outer air gap contained within the contact lens that receives oxygen through an oxygen-permeable outer layer of the contact lens;
an inner air gap contained within the contact lens that transmits oxygen to a user's cornea through an oxygen-permeable inner layer of the contact lens;
one or more oxygen channels that connect the outer air gap to the inner air gap;
a variable focal length lens that is adjustable to different focal lengths, wherein oxygen flow to the user's cornea is primarily through the oxygen channels rather than through the variable focal length lens;

one or more sensors contained in the two electronic contact lenses, which capture data indicative of a vergence of the user's two eyes; and
a controller that adjusts the focal lengths of the variable focal length lenses in the two electronic contact lenses, based on the data captured by the one or more sensors.
