Patent ID: 8778022

Claim:
An intraocular system comprising: a flexible base intraocular element configured to provide a fixed base refractive power; an electro-active element in optical communication with the flexible base intraocular element, the electro-active element comprising multiple independently controllable zones or pixels; an energy storage element, positioned adjacent to the electro-active element, to supply electrical power to the electro-active element; a charging arrangement, in electrical communication with the energy storage element, comprising a piezo-electric element configured to selectively supply electrical power to the energy storage element so as to at least partially recharge the energy storage element; a plurality of charging leads, in electrical communication with the energy storage element and the piezo-electric element, to transfer the electrical power from the piezo-electric element to the energy storage element; and at least one ciliary attachment tab, coupled to the piezo-electric element, to attach the piezo-electric element to a ciliary body of the eye for generation of the electrical power in response to movement of the ciliary body, wherein the electro-active element is configured to be folded before insertion to the eye, and unfolded after insertion to the eye.
