(54) Title: OPHTHALMIC DEVICES AND RELATED METHODS (57) : Embodiments disclosed herein are related to systems including at least one ophthalmic device (e.g., at least one in- traocular lens or at least one contact lens) and methods of using the at least one ophthalmic device. The ophthalmic device includes a switchable lens that can selectively change a focal length thereof. The ophthalmic device also includes a plurality of sensors disposed therein or thereon that sense one or more characteristics. At least one of the plurality of sensors can sense one or more electromyography signals associated with a ciliary muscle of the eye. At least another of the plurality of sensors can sense one or more accelerations of the eye, one or more electromagnetic signals, one or more magnetic fields, one or more additional electromyography signals, or another suitable characteristic. The systems can also include at least one controller configured to direct changing the focal length of the switchable lens responsive to the characteristics sensed by the sensors.
