1. A Stacked Integrated Component Media Insert for a contact lens, comprising:
- at least three substrate layers assembled into a non-planar, three-dimensional stacked form sized consistent for inclusion within the contact lens; and
at least one material that may be bonded within a body of a molded contact lens encapsulating the non-planar, three-dimensional stacked form,wherein each of the substrate layers comprise at least one element selected from an electrical component, an electromechanical component, an energy source, a wireless communication device, and an interconnection connecting the various elements on the substrate layers, and each of said substrate layers are located entirely outside of the optical zone of the lens, andwherein each substrate layer only partially overlaps the substrate layer below it in the stack.
