Patent Images
1. A lens system, comprising:
- a multifocal region having two or more optical powers; and
an electro-active element in optical communication therewith for providing at least one combined optical power, wherein when electrical power above a first predetermined threshold is applied to said electro-active element said electro-active element causes said combined optical power to alter and when electrical power below a second predetermined threshold is applied to said electro-active element said combined optical power is not altered and is substantially equal to said optical powers of said multifocal region.

Abstract
A lens for dynamically correcting refractive error is disclosed, 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.
