    摘要: A periocular ring configured to be worn on an eye of a user that includes a plurality of electrodes spaced along the periocular ring; a microcontroller; and a lead assembly extending along at least a portion of the periocular ring; wherein the lead assembly extends between the microcontroller and the plurality of electrodes to operably couple the plurality of electrodes to the microcontroller; and wherein the microcontroller is configured to activate the plurality of electrodes via the lead assembly to stimulate a lacrimal gland of the user. The periocular ring has an opening that defines an innermost diameter; and wherein, when the periocular ring is worn on the eye of the user, a portion of the eye extends through the opening of the periocular ring.

    摘要: An eye-mountable device is provided that includes an eyelid occlusion sensor. The eyelid occlusion sensor is used to detect winks, squints, downwards glances or looks, blinks, or other eye-based gestures generated by the user. Based on the detected gestures, an optical power of an adjustable lens of the device may be changed or some other operations could be performed by the eye-mountable device. Such operations could include toggling the optical power of the lens between first and second power levels due to the user squinting, looking downward, or performing some other gesture. Additionally or alternatively, such operations could include setting the optical power of the lens to a first optical power unless the user is looking downward, in which case the optical power of the lens could be set to a second optical power.

    摘要: An ophthalmic device includes an enclosure, an antenna, a sensor system, and a first conductive trace. The ophthalmic device is configured to mount on or in an eye of a user and includes a central region surrounded by a peripheral region. The antenna is disposed within the peripheral region between an outer edge of the ophthalmic device and the central region. The sensor system includes a sensor trace disposed within the peripheral region between the antenna and the central region. The first conductive trace is at least partially disposed between at least one of the antenna and the sensor trace or the central region and the sensor trace.

    摘要: Ophthalmic devices including dynamic visual field modulation are disclosed herein. An example ophthalmic device may include a first liquid crystal cell including a first dichroic dye, a second liquid crystal cell including a second dichroic dye, wherein the first and second liquid crystal cells are in optical series so that incident light on the ophthalmic device passes through both the first and second liquid crystal cells, a photodetector positioned within the ophthalmic device to detect the incident light and coupled to output a data signal indicative of a property of the incident light, and control electronics coupled to receive the data signal from the photodetector in response to the incident light, and further coupled to independently and dynamically control the first and second liquid crystal cells based at least in part on the data signal.

    摘要: Systems, eye-mountable devices, and methods that facilitate chronotherapeutic treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma are provided which enable therapeutic products to be delivered to the eye in a controlled manner only when desired. According to one embodiment, an eye-mountable device comprises a substrate having an eye-mounting surface for positioning on an eye of a patient, a sensor that obtains a plurality of measurements representative of a condition of the eye of the patient over a period of time, a therapeutic agent delivery assembly coupled, and a processor for executing a temporal model of a therapeutic agent delivery in communication with the sensor and the therapeutic agent delivery assembly. The processor receives the plurality of measurements and activates the therapeutic agent delivery assembly to administer a first amount of a drug to the eye of the patient based on the temporal model associated with the plurality of measurements.
