Claim:
1. An eye-mountable device (EMD) comprising: a lens enclosure including an anterior layer and a posterior layer sealed to the anterior layer, wherein a concave surface of the posterior layer is configured to be removeably mounted over a cornea; an anterior electrode disposed within the lens enclosure on a concave side of the anterior layer; a posterior electrode disposed within the lens enclosure on a convex side of the posterior layer; and an accommodation actuator element disposed across a central region of the lens enclosure, wherein the accommodation actuator element separates the anterior electrode from the posterior electrode within the central region, wherein a pinch-off region defines a perimeter of the central region and is where a portion of the anterior layer physically contacts a portion of the posterior layer; and a substrate having a first contact pad, the substrate disposed between the anterior layer and the posterior layer in a peripheral region of the lens enclosure that extends around at least a portion of the pinch-off region, wherein the anterior electrode includes an anterior main body portion and an anterior connection tab that extends from the anterior main body portion through the pinch-off region to overlap the first contact pad on the substrate.
