Abstract

This invention discloses methods and apparatus for providing a media insert with an energy source to an ophthalmic lens. The energy source is capable of powering a component included within the ophthalmic lens. In some embodiments, an ophthalmic lens is cast molded from a silicone hydrogel and the component includes an electro-optical lens portion.

Description

[0001] Related Patent Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 101,282, filed September 30, 2008, and U.S. Patent Application No. 12 / 565,407, filed September 23, 2009, which The contents are relied upon and incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] This disclosure describes energized media inserts for ophthalmic devices, and more particularly, in some embodiments, the manufacture of ophthalmic lenses having energized media inserts. Background technique [0004] Traditionally, ophthalmic devices such as contact lenses, intraocular lenses or punctal plugs have included biocompatible devices with corrective, cosmetic or therapeutic properties. For example, contact lenses can provide one or more of the following functions: vision correction function, cosmetic enhancement and therapeutic effect. Each function is provided by the physical properties of the lens. Lenses with refractive properties ...
