Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a device that includes a host lens and a dynamic lens adapted to adjust its optical power based upon an input. The dynamic lens is in optical communication with the host lens. The device further comprises a photosensor, a controller electrically connected to the photosensor, and an actuator electrically connected to the controller. The actuator is also connected to the dynamic lens. The actuator provides an input interface to the dynamic lens, which is actuated based upon a signal received from the photosensor. The dynamic lens having a first zone of changeable optical power adapted to adjust its optical power within the range of −0.75 D to +0.75 D and an “optional” second zone of changeable optical power adapted to adjust its optical power within the range of +50 D to +1.25 D.
