This invention discloses methods and apparatus for providing an ophthalmic lens with an energy source incorporated therein.
This application claims priority to Provisional Patent Application U.S. Ser. No. 61/192,765 which was filed on Sep. 22, 2008, entitled “Energized Ophthalmic Lens” and also to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/557,016, filed Sep. 10, 2009, now abandoned entitled “Energized Ophthalmic Lens” as a Continuation-in-Part application, the contents of each are relied upon and incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for forming an energized ophthalmic lens and, more specifically, in some embodiments, methods of binding one or more of an energy source and components within an ophthalmic lens mold in order to facilitate the formation of the energized ophthalmic lens.
It is desirable therefore to have ophthalmic lenses that are energized to an extent suitable for providing one or more functionalities into an ophthalmic. In order to do so, methods and apparatus must be available for incorporating usable energy into an ophthalmic lens.
Accordingly, the present invention includes a biomedical device, such as an ophthalmic lens, with an energized portion that has been incorporated into the ophthalmic lens via placement of an energy source on a binder layer in physical communication with a mold part used to form the ophthalmic lens. Some embodiments include a cast molded silicone hydrogel contact lens with a battery or other energy source contained within the ophthalmic lens in a biocompatible fashion. An energized portion is thereby created in the ophthalmic lens via inclusion of one or more batteries into the lens.
In some embodiments, components, such as semiconductor devices or devices which operate on electrical current may also be placed on the binder layer and held in position during formation of the ophthalmic lens and incorporated into the ophthalmic lens. In another aspect, in some embodiments, the energized device is capable of powering a semiconductor device incorporated into the ophthalmic lens.
Typically, the ophthalmic lenses are formed via the control of actinic radiation to which a reactive monomer mixture is exposed. The reactive monomer mixture surrounds the energy source and thereby incorporates the energy source within the lens.
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a mold system that may be used in some implementations of the present invention.
FIG. 5a-5d illustrates exemplary design shapes for energy sources.
FIG. 6 illustrates a depiction of apparatus and automation that may be used to implement some embodiments of the present invention.
FIG. 7 illustrates an ophthalmic lens with an energy source and components.
FIG. 8 illustrates method steps that may be implemented in practicing the present invention.
Energy Source: A device capable of supplying energy or placing an ophthalmic lens in an energized state.
In general, in the present invention, an Energy Source is embodied within an ophthalmic lens. In some embodiments, an ophthalmic device includes an optic zone through which a wearer of the lens would see. A pattern of components and an Energy Source can be located exterior to an optic zone. Other embodiments can include a pattern of conductive material and one or more Energy Sources which are small enough to not adversely affect the sight of a contact lens wearer and therefore can be located within, or exterior to, an optical zone.
In general, according to some embodiments of the present invention, an Energy Source is embodied within an ophthalmic lens.
Referring first to FIG. 4, a cross section of an Energized Lens 400 is illustrated. This depiction provides a cross section of a general body of an ophthalmic lens 440. Within that body 440 is an Energy Source 420, such as a thin film battery with a substrate upon which it is built. Proceeding up from the substrate there may be a cathode layer 422 which may be surrounded by an electrolyte layer 423 which then may be coated by an anode layer 424. These layers may be surrounded by an encapsulating layer 421 that seals the battery layers from the external environment. In some exemplary embodiments an electronically controlled optic device 410 is also embedded with a lens and held in place during formation of the lens via a binder layer.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a mold system conducive to formation of an ophthalmic lens according to the present invention is illustrated. In this example, a mold part system 100 hydrogel material is formed into an ophthalmic lens which includes an Energy Source 109 embedded within hydrogel material 110. According to the present invention, the Energy Source 109 is secured via a binder layer 111 in a mold part while the energized lens 100 is formed by the hydrogel material. The energy Source may also include effective means of encapsulation and isolation of the materials it is made from and the environment as illustrated by a sealed encapsulating layer 130.
Some specific embodiments include an Energy Source which includes a lithium ion battery. Lithium ion batteries are generally rechargeable. According to the present invention, the lithium ion battery is in electrical communication with a charging device and also a power management circuit, both of which are embedded within the lens.
Additionally, some embodiments may include a binding an Energy Source 109 which includes a battery with thin film material materials and a flexible substrate to provide support for the thin film material. In the present invention, one or both of the Energy Source and the flexible substrate are secured in place during deposition of a Reactive Mixture and polymerization of the Reactive Mixture into an ophthalmic lens.
As used herein, the terms a mold includes a form 100 having a cavity 105 into which a lens forming mixture can be dispensed such that upon reaction or cure of the lens forming mixture, an ophthalmic lens of a desired shape is produced. The molds and mold assemblies 100 of this invention are made up of more than one “mold parts” or “mold pieces” 101-102. The mold parts 101-102 can be brought together such that a cavity 105 is formed between the mold parts 101-102 in which a lens can be formed. This combination of mold parts 101-102 is preferably temporary. Upon formation of the lens, the mold parts 101-102 can again be separated for removal of the lens.
At least one mold part 101-102 has at least a portion of its surface 103-104 in contact with the lens forming mixture such that upon reaction or cure of the lens forming mixture 110 that surface 103-104 provides a desired shape and form to the portion of the lens with which it is in contact. In some embodiments, the same is true of at least one other mold part 101-102, still other embodiments include a lens with a free form surface and is formed with only one mold part via voxel by voxel polymerization of a monomer mixture.
At 111, a binder layer is illustrated onto which an Energy Source 109 may be placed. The Binder layer 111 may also receive a flexible material or substrate onto which an Energy Source 109 has been mounted, in some embodiments the substrate may also include circuit paths, components and other aspects useful to use of the energy source. In some embodiments, the binder layer 111 can be a clear coat of a material which is incorporated into a lens when the lens is formed. The clear coat can include for example a pigment as described below, a monomer or other biocompatible material. Various embodiments can include an Energy Source which is placed on one or both of the optic zone and non-optic zone of a resulting lens. Still other embodiments can include an annular insert onto which an energy source is incorporated. The annular insert may be either rigid or formable or and circumvent an optic zone through which a user sees.
In some embodiments, the binding layer includes a polymer capable of forming an interpenetrating polymer network with a lens material, the need for formation of covalent bonds between the binder and lens material to form a stable lens is eliminated. Stability of a lens with an Energy Source placed into the binder is provided by entrapment of the Energy Source in the binding layer polymer and a lens base polymer. The binding polymers of the invention can include, for example, those made from a homopolymer or copolymer, or combinations thereof, having similar solubility parameters to each other and the binding polymer has similar solubility parameters to the lens material. Binding polymers may contain functional groups that render the polymers and copolymers of the binding polymer capable of interactions with each other. The functional groups can include groups of one polymer or copolymer interact with that of another in a manner that increases the density of the interactions helping to inhibit the mobility of and/or entrap the pigment particles. The interactions between the functional groups may be polar, dispersive, or of a charge transfer complex nature. The functional groups may be located on the polymer or copolymer backbones or be pendant from the backbones.
Additional embodiments may come from the nature in which the internal components are encapsulated by the encapsulating material. It may be possible to coat an Energy Source in a manner that involves a seam between two layers of encapsulant. Alternatively the encapsulant may be applied in such a manner to not generate seams, although it should be noted that many embodiments would require the Energy Source to provide two distinct and isolated electrical contact points. It may be obvious to one skilled in the art that there are various other means to encapsulate an Energy Source which may be consistent with the art detailed herein.
Referring now to FIG. 2, in some embodiments, an Energized Lens 200 includes an Energy Source 210 with two contact points 240. In some embodiments, contact points 240 include two electrically conductive wires 230 affixed to them to conduct the energy from the Energy Source 210 to another device 220.
The manner by which the electrical wires 230 may be connected to the contact points 240 may form numerous embodiments within this art. In some embodiments, these wires may be affixed by a wire bonding technique which will physically scrub a wire into an electrical contact with an alternative bond pad metal. Still other embodiments may derive from melting a contacting metallurgy between the wire 230 and the contact point 240 for example with a solder technique. It may be possible in other embodiments to evaporatively deposit the connecting wires 230 to the contact point 240. In still other embodiments, conductive epoxies or inks may be used to define the conducting element 230 and to connect it to the contact points 240. It may be obvious to one skilled in the art that numerous means of making a connection to the contact point of an Energy Source to convey energy to or from another device may comprise embodiments within the scope of this invention.
As previously discussed, an Energy Source 200 may include a composite of two or more of the types of Energy Sources that have been described. For example, the Energy Source in FIG. 2 may be comprised of a rechargeable lithium ion thin film battery 210 that is combined with a device 220, such as a photocell. Numerous photocell types may be consistent with the art herein, as an example a photovoltaic device that could be used for this embodiment is the CPC1822 manufactured by Clare, Inc. (Beverly, Mass.), which measures approximately 2.5 mm×1.8 mm×0.3 mm in die form and is capable of providing 4 volts of direct current electricity (VDC) in light conditions. In some embodiments, the output of the photovoltaic device may be directly provided to the battery as demonstrated in FIG. 2. Alternatively, a power management device may control the charging of the rechargeable battery with a reenergizing device of some kind. This specific example is provided in a non-limiting sense as there may be numerous embodiments of reenergizing an Energy Source within the scope of this inventive art on energized ophthalmic lenses.
In some embodiments the Energy Source within an energized ophthalmic lens may energize a control function within the ophthalmic lens to provide for the wireless, controlled activation of still further energized function within an ophthalmic lens or other shaped hydrogel article. By way of non-limiting example, the Energy Source may comprise an embedded encapsulated thin film microbattery which may have a finite, limited maximum current capacity. In order to minimize leakage currents, or quiescent current draw so that a fully charged thin film microbattery will maintain its charge as long as possible during storage, various means to activate or electrically connect the microbattery to other components within the electroactive lens may be utilized. In some embodiments, a photovoltaic cell (e.g. Clare CPC1822 in die form) or a photoelectric sensing device may activate transistors or other microelectronic components within the lens under prescribed lighting conditions that can then activate the interconnection of the battery with other microelectronic components within the lens. In another embodiment, a micro-sized hall-effect sensor/switch such as the A1172 manufactured by Allegro Microsystems, Inc. (Worcester, Mass.) may be used to activate the battery and/or other microelectronic components within the lens when exposed to a north and/or south pole of a magnet. In other embodiments, physical contact switches, membrane switches, RF switches, temperature sensors, photodiodes, photoresistors, phototransistors, or optical sensors may be used to activate the battery and/or attached electronics within the energized ophthalmic lens.
In some embodiments an Energy Source within an energized ophthalmic lens may be incorporated alongside integrated circuits. In exemplary embodiments of this type, incorporation of planar thin film microbatteries on silicon substrates could be envisioned in conjunction with the semiconductor fabrication process. Such approaches could advantageously be used to provide separate power sources for various integrated circuits which may be incorporated into the electroactive lens of the present invention. In alternative embodiments the integrate circuit may be incorporated as a distinct component of the energized lens.
Referring now to FIG. 5, in FIGS. 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d are numerous examples of different shapes that an Energy Source in an ophthalmic lens may take. Item 500 shows a reference Energy Source made of thin film materials, which for reference is formed as a flat shape. When the dimension of such a shape 500 is approximately a millimeter or less, it may comprise an Energy Source for an energized ophthalmic lens. Item 510 shows an exemplary three dimensional form where the flexible substrate and encapsulated battery assume a full annular shape, which when not flexibly distorted is roughly the same shape that an undistorted ophthalmic lens may assume. In some embodiments, the radius of the annular shape may approximate eight millimeters for an energized ophthalmic lens embodiment. The same three-dimensional aspect may be shared by embodiments which are quarter annulus 530, half annulus 520 or other arcuate shape. It may be apparent to one skilled in the arts that many different shapes including other partial annular shapes may comprise alternative embodiments within the scope of this invention. In some embodiments, rectangular, planar shapes may also be fit into a semi-spherical shell geometry included in an ophthalmic lens.
Another set of embodiments of the present invention relate to specific battery chemistries which may be advantageously utilized in an energized ophthalmic lens. An example embodiment, which was developed by Oak Ridge Laboratories, comprises constituents of a Lithium or Lithium-Ion Cell. Common materials for the anode of such cells include Lithium metal or alternatively for the Lithium Ion Cell include graphite. An example alternative embodiment of these cells would be the incorporation of micro-scaled silicon features to act as the anode of such a thin film battery incorporated into a contact lens.
The materials used for the cathode of the batteries may include Lithium Manganese Oxide and Lithium Cobalt Oxide which have good performance metrics for the batteries thus formed. Alternatively, Lithium Iron Phosphide cathodes, can have similar performance, however, may in some applications have improved aspects relating to charging. As well, the dimension of these and other cathode materials can improve charging performance; as for example, forming the cathode from nano-scaled crystals of the various materials can dramatically improve the rate that the battery may be recharged at.
The silicone-containing vinyl carbonate or vinyl carbamate monomers
specifically include: 1,3-bis[4-(vinyloxycarbonyloxy)but-1-yl]tetramethyl-disiloxane; 3-(vinyloxycarbonylthio)propyl-[tris(trimethylsiloxy)silane]; 3-[tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl]propyl allyl carbamate; 3-[tris(trimethylsiloxy)silyl]propyl vinyl carbamate; trimethylsilylethyl vinyl carbonate; trimethylsilylmethyl vinyl carbonate, and
Additional embodiments are related to the nature in which the internal components are encapsulated by the encapsulating material. It may be possible to coat an Energy Source in a manner that involves a seam between two layers of encapsulant. Alternatively the encapsulant may be applied in such a manner to not generate seams, although it should be noted that many embodiments would require the Energy Source to provide two distinct and isolated electrical contact points. It may be obvious to one skilled in the art that there are various other means to encapsulate an Energy Source which may be consistent with the art detailed herein.
Still other embodiments involve methods for the strategic placement of an Energy Source within an ophthalmic lens geometry. Specifically, in some embodiments the Energy Source may be an opaque article. Since it is preferable for the Energy Source to not obstruct the transmission of light through an optic zone of the ophthalmic lens, methods of design in some embodiments may ensure that an optic zone comprising a central 5-8 mm of the contact lens is not obstructed by any opaque portions of the Energy Source or supporting circuitry or other components.
As mentioned above, in some embodiments of the present invention the Energy Source includes an electrochemical cell or battery. There are many different types of batteries which may be included in embodiments of energized ophthalmic lenses. For example, single use batteries may be formed from various cathode and anode materials. By way of non-limiting examples these materials may include Zinc, carbon, Silver, Manganese, Cobalt, Lithium, Silicon. Still other embodiments may derive from the use of batteries that are rechargeable. Such batteries may in turn be made of Lithium Ion technology; Silver technology, Magnesium technology, Niobium technology. It may be apparent to one skilled in the art that various current battery technologies for single use or rechargeable battery systems may comprise the Energy Source in various embodiments of an energized ophthalmic lens.
Referring now to FIG. 6, apparatus for applying a binder layer to a mold part is illustrated. The apparatus includes first automation 610 which is capable of positioning a binder coat applicator 611-612 proximate to one or more mold parts 614 and apply a binder coat into the one or more mold parts. In some embodiments, the binder coat applicators 611-612 will move in a vertical direction to become proximate to the one or more mold parts 614. The binder layer applicator may include for example one or more of: a pad printing device and an ink jet mechanism. Applications of coatings, such as those used for the application of colorant into a contact lens or other cosmetic tinting of contact lenses are well known. In the present invention, methods and apparatus for the application of colorant into a contact lens can be adapted to also introduce a binder layer into a mold part which is capable of adhering an Energy Source or other component to the mold part.
Second automation 615 for placing one or more of: the Energy Source and other components into the mold part can also be proximate to the mold part 614.
Referring now to FIG. 7 Referring to FIG. 7, a top down depiction of an exemplary embodiment of an ophthalmic lens 700 with and Energy Source 710 and components 712, 714, and 715 is shown. In this depiction, an Energy Source 710 is shown in a periphery portion 711 of the ophthalmic lens 700. The Energy Source 710 may include, for example, a thin film, rechargeable lithium ion battery. The Energy Source 710 may be connected to contact points 714 to allow for interconnection. Wires may be wire bond wires to the contact points 714 and connect the Energy Source 710 to a photoelectric cell 715 which may be used to reenergize the battery Energy Source 710. Additional wires may connect the Energy Source 710 to a flexible circuit interconnect via wire bonded contact.
In some embodiments, the ophthalmic lens 700 may also include a flexible substrate onto which the Energy Source 710 and components 712, 714, and 715 are mounted. This flexible substrate may be formed into a shape approximating a typical lens form in a similar manner previously discussed. Various electronic components 712 such as integrated circuits, discrete components, passive components and such devices may also be included.
An optic zone 713 is also illustrated. The optic zone may be optically passive with no optical change, or it may have a predetermined optical characteristic, such as a predefined optical correction. Still other embodiments include an optical zone with a variable optic component that may be varied on command.
In some embodiments, an ophthalmic lens with a component, such as processor device can be matched with an Energy Source 710 incorporated into an ophthalmic lens and used to perform logical functions or otherwise process data within the ophthalmic lens.
