Convergence-sensing electro-active accommodating lens

[0026]Exemplary embodiments described below relate to a method and system for determining a correct focus point for an electro-active accommodating lens system based on convergence sensing via magnetic fields, and automatically focusing the electro-active lens. Although many of the examples herein focus on IOLs, it is understood that the principles and techniques apply analogously to automatic-focusing contact lenses.

[0027]The following description is presented to enable one of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention and is provided in the context of a patent application and its requirements. Various modifications to the exemplary embodiments and the generic principles and features described herein will be readily apparent. The exemplary embodiments are mainly described in terms of particular methods and systems provided in particular implementation, though the methods and systems will operate effectively in other implementations.
