Electro-optic lens with integrated components for varying refractive properties
First Claim
1. A lens system for dynamically correcting refractive error, the lens system comprising:
- a lens having at least one electro-active element having a refractive property that is alterable, the lens being capable of being shaped to fit a housing without hindering performance of the electro-active element;
a controller in communication with each of the at least one electro-active element thereto; and
an input generator adapted for generating an input signal and transmitting the input signal to the controller, the input signal being generated based at least in part on an input parameter.
