Abstract:
This invention discloses methods and apparatus for providing a variable aperture insert into a lens. A liquid crystal layer may be used to provide a variable aperture function and in some examples. In other examples, electrochromic, photochromic, liquid meniscus or electroactive elastomeric devices may form a light blocking element of a variable aperture insert. In some examples, an ophthalmic lens is cast-molded from a silicone hydrogel including a variable aperture insert.

Claim (Index 2):
A lens device comprising:\n an electroactive light blocking element, wherein the electroactive light blocking element is configured to allow for the adjustment of the transmittance with the application of an electrical signal; a lens body comprising the electroactive light blocking element; an energization element; a controller, wherein the controller controls the electroactive light blocking element to form an aperture approximately 1 mm in size.
