Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for controlling an artificial iris may include receiving a measurement of light intensity detected by a sensor on or adjacent to the artificial iris. The method may include accessing a user-specific profile based on user calibration for determining one or more user-specific thresholds of light intensity of the user-specific profile. The one or more user-specific thresholds are associated with light intensities for triggering a change of light transmittance through the artificial iris. The method may include comparing the received measurement of light intensity to the one or more thresholds in the user-specific profile. The method may include determining, based on the comparing, whether to turn on or turn off one or more concentric rings of liquid crystals of the artificial iris for controlling an amount of light transmitted through the artificial iris.
