CONTACT LENS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18574343 titled 'CONTACT LENS
The abstract describes a contact lens with an antenna unit that receives energy through a human body and supplies power to a load on the lens substrate.
- Lens substrate worn on an eyeball
- Antenna unit on the lens substrate receives alternating-current energy
- First antenna element with a conductor in contact with the eyeball or eyelid
- Second antenna element with a conductor separated by a gap and not in contact with the eyeball
- Load receives electric power from the antenna unit
Potential Applications: - Medical monitoring and data collection - Augmented reality displays - Communication devices
Problems Solved: - Wirelessly powering devices on the eye - Integrating technology seamlessly into everyday life
Benefits: - Enhanced convenience for users - Potential for new applications in healthcare and communication

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring new ways to improve the efficiency and functionality of wireless power contact lenses. Stay updated on the latest advancements in this field.
Original Abstract Submitted
A contact lens according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a lens substrate to be worn on an eyeball, an antenna unit that is provided on the lens substrate and receives alternating-current energy through a human body, and a load that receives electric power supplied from the antenna unit. The antenna unit includes a first antenna element including a first conductor and a second antenna element including a second conductor. The first conductor is provided on the lens substrate at a position that is in contact with the eyeball or an eyelid when an eye is open. The second conductor is provided on the lens substrate at a position that is separated from the first conductor by a predetermined gap and not in contact with the eyeball or the eyelid when the eye is open.
