Individual performance optimization of electronic lens for presbyopia correction

Abstract

An optimization system for presbyopia correction includes a dynamic lens and a separately disposed controller. The dynamic lens includes a sensor measuring an ocular element of a person's eye, a control electronics, an actuator, and a presbyopia correcting optical element communicating with the actuator for its setting to a far or near optical power. The controller sends paired instructions synchronically to the person as an audio command for viewing the object at far or near distance and to the control electronics as a wireless command to send the actuation signal to the actuator for communication with the presbyopia correcting optical element. The control electronics receives the wireless command and the sensor signal, stores the sensor signal, sends the actuation signal to the presbyopia correcting optical element and stores the corresponding actuation signal. The actuation signal communicates to the presbyopia correcting optical element to set for far or near optical power.
