1. An ophthalmic lens system capable of wireless communication through utilization of an external device, the ophthalmic lens system comprising:
- a first ophthalmic lens wearable on a first eye for wirelessly communicating with the external device, wherein the first ophthalmic lens comprises;
a first lens transmitter,a first lens receiver,a first lens processor in electrical communication with the first lens transmitter and the first lens receiver,and a first soft lens portion for placement on the first eye and encapsulation of at least a portion of one or more the first lens transmitter, the first lens receiver, and the first lens processor, and wherein the external device comprises a device power source, a device transmitter, a device receiver, and a device processor in electrical communication with the device power source, the device transmitter, and the device receiver; and
a second ophthalmic lens wearable on a second eye wirelessly communicating with one or both the first ophthalmic lens and the external device, wherein the second ophthalmic lens comprises;
a second lens transmitter,a second lens receiver,a second lens processor in electrical communication with the second lens transmitter and the second lens receiver,and a second soft lens portion for placement on the second eye and encapsulation of at least a portion of one or more the second lens transmitter, the second lens receiver, and the second lens processor, and wherein the device processor is configured for more computational power than one or both the first lens processor and the second lens processor,wherein the first ophthalmic lens, the second ophthalmic lens and the external device communicate with each other such that the first and second ophthalmic lenses perform one or more coordinated functions.

Abstract
The present invention comprises an ophthalmic lens system capable of wireless communication through utilization of an external device, wherein the ophthalmic lens system comprises a first ophthalmic lens on a first eye and a second ophthalmic lens on a second eye, wherein the lenses may be configured to wirelessly communicate with each other by transmitting and receiving data through an external device. More particularly, in some embodiments, the external device may comprise electronic components with more computational power and energization capabilities than the ophthalmic lenses.
