Abstract

Ophthalmic lenses are described including an ophthalmic base, and a plurality of electro-active elements, such as dynamic micro-lenses or micro-prismatic apertures. Each electro-active element may be configured to dynamically change optical power. The ophthalmic lens may be configured such that an optical power of the ophthalmic lens focuses mostly one image at one time on the retina of the eye of the wearer. The ophthalmic lens may be, for example, a spectacle lens, other types of specialty lenses such as used for gaming and the like, a contact lens, an intra-ocular lens, and intra-ocular optic, etc. Each electro-active element may include liquid crystal, such as dichroic, non-dichroic, nematic, and/or cholesteric liquid crystal. The electro-active elements may comprise non-dichroic liquid crystal, and gaps between the electro-active elements may include a dichroic liquid crystal, or the electro-active elements may be shaped and arranged in a substantially conformal pattern.
