System, apparatus, and method for correcting vision using an electro-active lens
A spectacle lens is disclosed. The disclosed lens provides a vision correcting area for the correction of a wearer's refractive error. The viewing correction area provides Correction for non-conventional refractive error to provide at least a part of the Wearer's vision correction. The lens has a prescription based on a wave front analysis of the wearer's eye and the lens can further be modified to fit within an eyeglass frame.
1. Electronic eyewear comprising:
an electrical power component;
a lens comprising an electronic region of electronically changeable focus;
an electronically re-programmable controller; and
an eyeglass frame housing said electronic power component, said lens, and said electronically re-programmable controller;
wherein:
said electronic region comprises a polymer liquid crystal electro-active material that changes index with the application of electricity;
said electronic region changes a focus of said lens as the index of said electro-active material changes;
said electronically re-programmable controller is configured to control an application of electricity to said electronic region; and
said lens comprises an electro-chromic material configured to change a tint of said lens.
