Patent attributes
A contact lens for application to a human eyeball capable of emitting ultrasonic pressure waves from a plurality of piezoelectric transducers to mitigate the effects of airborne eye irritants and infectious microorganisms. The piezoelectric transducers converts mechanical energy applied upon the contact lens from the eyelid as the eyelid blinks and/or winks into electrical energy to be used for emitting ultrasonic pressure waves from the piezoelectric transducers. The ultrasonic pressure waves destroy airborne microorganisms near the contact lens. A photodiode onboard the contact lens indicates when the eyelid is not closed in order to limit or prevent emission of ultrasonic pressure waves from the piezoelectric transducers while the eyelid is closed. An antenna onboard the contact lens receives information from augmented reality glasses or other computing devices.
