Abstract

A modular system can be used with commercial eyeglasses to deliver treatment for at least one ocular condition. The modular system includes an electroactive stick-on component attachable to a portion of an eyeglass lens; and an electronic system attachable to an eyeglass frame in electrical communication with the electroactive stick-on component.

Claims (26)

1 . A modular system comprising:

an electroactive stick-on component attachable to a portion of an eyeglass lens; and

an electronic system attachable to an eyeglass frame in electrical communication with the electroactive stick-on component,

wherein the electroactive stick-on component is configured to deliver treatment for at least one ocular condition.

2 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electroactive stick-on component comprises an electrical connection area configured to interface with an electrical connection area of the electronic system.

3 . The modular system of claim 2 , wherein the interface between the electroactive stick-on component and the electronic system interface in the electrical connection area with a pair of low-profile conductors, each of the pair of low-profile conductors comprises at least one electrical interconnect and at least one magnet.

4 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electroactive stick-on component is reversibly attachable to the eyeglass lens.

5 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic system comprises additional control electronics for the electroactive stick-on component.

6 . The modular system of claim 5 , wherein the additional control electronics comprise an ASIC/IC, an RF/BLE chip, and/or a power source.

7 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electroactive stick-on component is configured to provide electrowetting, on-demand refraction, or on-demand optical treatment.

8 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electroactive stick-on component comprises at least one illumination device, at least one camera, and/or at least one sensor.

9 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic system comprises a flat, flexible cable to connect to the electroactive stick-on component.

10 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic system is configured to communicate with an external controller.

11 . The modular system of claim 10 , wherein the external controller is embodied in a smartphone application.

12 . The modular system of claim 10 , wherein the electronic system is configured to communicate with the external controller according to a wired connection of a wireless connection.

13 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic system is configured to be recharged by a battery charging system.

14 . The modular system of claim 13 , wherein the battery charging system is configured to be on and/or within an eyeglasses case configured to house the eyeglasses.

15 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the electroactive stick-on component is at least partially transparent.

16 . The modular system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one optical condition comprises myopia, presbyopia, amblyopia, photophobia, dry eye or color blindness.

17 . A method comprising:

applying an electroactive stick-on component to at least one lens of eyeglasses, wherein the electroactive stick-on component is reversibly attachable to the at least one lens of the eyeglasses;

connecting an electrical connection area of the electroactive stick-on component comprising a low profile conductor to an electrical connection area comprising another low profile conductor of an electrical system attached to a frame of the eyeglasses; and

treating at least one optical condition with the electroactive stick-on component powered by the electrical system.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the treating the at least one optical condition further comprises electrowetting, on-demand refraction, or on-demand optical treatment.

19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the at least one optical condition comprises myopia, presbyopia, amblyopia, photophobia, dry eye or color blindness.

20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the treating further comprises receiving, by the electrical system, an instruction from an external controller to instruct the electroactive stick-on component to engage in treating the optical condition.
