Abstract:
1. An activation system for an energized ophthalmic lens comprising: an energized ophthalmic lens comprising an energy source, wherein the energized ophthalmic lens may be worn such that a physiological eyelid represents one or more of: a screen between an ambient light source and the ophthalmic lens and a mechanical pressure conduit to the ophthalmic lens; an activation device in electrical communication with the energy source, wherein the activation device is capable of detecting a signal emanating from a source external to the ophthalmic lens; a storage for one or more active agents; and a component in electrical communication with the energy source to receive energy from the energy source based upon detection of the external signal by the activation device and cause the ophthalmic lens to excrete one or more of the active agents from the storage portion based upon the detection of the external signal.
