PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide electro-active intraocular lenses in which an electro-active element provides at least a portion of an IOL's refractive power, prismatic power, or at least a portion of the tinting.SOLUTION: An IOL assembly 200 includes an electro-active lens element 218 powered by a thin, annular charge storage capacitor 216 arranged around the perimeter of the electro-active lens element 218. The charge storage capacitor 216 is charged by a piezoelectric film 212. The piezoelectric film 212 generates this charge as a result of mechanical force applied by a ciliary body. The piezoelectric film 212 is attached to the ciliary body by a ciliary body attachment tab 210. |
