Abstract:
1. An ophthalmic device comprising: a corrective lens having an optic region, a peripheral region surrounding the optic region, a front surface and a back surface; at least one dynamic fluid zone incorporated into the corrective lens between the front surface and the back surface in the peripheral region, the at least one dynamic fluid zone being formed from a deformable material and comprising at least one of a therapeutic, a nutritional, and a pharmacological agent for delivery to an eye of a patient through one or more openings, the one or more openings comprises a valve configured to allow one way fluid flow, the at least one dynamic fluid zone being configured to interact with the eyelids such that blinking causes movement of the at least one of a therapeutic, a nutritional, and a pharmacological agent and at least one second dynamic fluid zone incorporated into the contact lens between the front surface and the back surface in the peripheral region, wherein the at least one second fluid dynamic zone substantially surrounds the at least one dynamic fluid zone and comprises a deformable material, wherein the at least one second dynamic fluid zone is configured to compress the at least one dynamic fluid zone under eyelid pressure during blinking thereby forcing the at least one of a therapeutic, a nutritional and a pharmacological agent from the at least one dynamic fluid zone onto the eye.
