Process for customizing an active contact lens
First Claim
1. A method for customizing scleral contact lens displays for a plurality of wearers, each scleral contact lens display comprising a scleral contact lens containing a projector that projects images onto a retina of an individual wearer'"'"'s eye, the method comprising:
- obtaining contact lens precursors for the plurality of wearers, each contact lens precursor including the projector that projects images onto the retina of the individual wearer'"'"'s eye, wherein the contact lens precursors are the same for the plurality of wearers; and
processing the contact lens precursors into scleral contact lens displays customized for each individual wearer, comprising;
custom shaping a posterior surface of the contact lens precursor to rest upon and conform to a shape of each individual wearer'"'"'s sclera, wherein the scleral contact lens arches over the individual wearer'"'"'s cornea when resting upon the individual wearer'"'"'s sclera and the custom shape of the posterior surface resting upon the individual wearer'"'"'s sclera prevents the scleral contact lens from slipping with respect to the individual wearer'"'"'s eye and prevents the images projected by the projector from slipping with respect to the individual wearer'"'"'s retina.

Abstract
A method for customizing active contact lenses, such as contact lens displays, for a plurality of wearers includes the following: Contact lens precursors are obtained for a plurality of wearers. The contact lens precursors include active electronics. The same contact lens precursors are used as a starting point to generate active contact lenses for many different individuals, but they are processed into active contact lenses that are customized for each individual wearer.
