LENS WITH VARIABLE REFRACTION POWER FOR THE HUMAN EYE
First Claim
1. A lens, comprising the following components:
- means for adaptation of the refraction power as reaction to a control signal,at least one position locator,means for detection of a relative position of the position locator with respect to at least one further position locator being arranged on a further lens,means for generation of the control signal in order to adapt the refraction power of the lens to the detected relative position, andat least one device for power supply for at least parts of the components of the lens.

Abstract
The present invention comprises a lens with variable refraction power as well as an optical system for the use as, preferably accommodating, visual aid. The lens is designed as an intraocular lens or as a contact lens. The general idea of the invention is to determine the accommodation requirement from the position of the eyes relative to one another. This is possible, since the accommodation requirement and the eyes'"'"' motor activity are closely related. According to a first embodiment, the present invention claims a lens with variable refraction power, which possesses the following components: means for adaptation of the refraction power, especially by a change of the lens'"'"' curvature as a reaction to a control signal; at least one position locator; means for detection of the relative position of the position locator to at least another position locator arranged on another lens; means for generation of the control signal for adaptation of the refraction power of the lens to the detected relative position and at least one device for power supply for at least parts of the components of the lens.

24. An optical system as visual aid with a first and a second lens for positioning on or in a first and a second eye, respectively, comprising following components:
-
first means for adaptation of the refraction power of the first lens as reaction to a first control signal, wherein the first means for adaptation of the refraction power are arranged on the first lens, and second means for adaptation of the refraction power of the second lens as reaction to a second control signal, wherein the means for adaptation of the refraction power are arranged on the second lens, means for detection of a relative position of the first eye with respect to the second eye, comprising at least a first position locator being arranged on the first lens and at least a second position locator being arranged on the second lens, means for generation of the first control signal and the second control signal for adaptation of the refraction power of the first and second lens, respectively, with respect to the detected relative position, at least one first device for power supply, preferably being arranged on the first lens, supplying power to at least parts of the components of the first lens and/or to at least parts of the components of the second lens, and/or at least one second device for power supply, preferably being arranged on the second lens, supplying power to at least parts of the components of the second lens and/or to at least parts of the components of the first lens. - View Dependent Claims (25)
