1. A powered ophthalmic lens, the powered ophthalmic lens comprising:
- a contact lens including an optic zone and a peripheral zone; and
an eye gaze tracking system incorporated into the peripheral zone of the contact lens, the eye gaze tracking system including a sensor to determine and track eye position, a system controller cooperatively associated with the sensor, the system controller configured to determine and track gaze direction in spatial coordinates based on information from the sensor output a control signal, and at least one actuator configured to receive the output control signal and implement a predetermined function.

Abstract
A gaze direction tracking system for an ophthalmic lens comprising an electronic system is described herein. The gaze direction tracking system is part of an electronic system incorporated into the ophthalmic lens. The electronic system includes one or more batteries or other power sources, power management circuitry, one or more sensors, clock generation circuitry, control algorithms and circuitry, and lens driver circuitry. The gaze direction tracking system is utilized to determine pupil position and use this information to control various aspects of the ophthalmic lens.
