Abstract:
1. An energized ophthalmic lens comprising: an ophthalmic lens; an energy source; 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; and a component in electrical communication with the energy source to receive energy from the energy source based upon detection of the signal emanated from the source external to the ophthalmic lens by the activation device, wherein the component is capable of causing the ophthalmic lens to monitor a specified property of an environment exterior to said ophthalmic lens, and 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.
