Abstract
An ophthalmic device includes an enclosure, an antenna, a sensor system, and a first conductive trace. The ophthalmic device is configured to mount on or in an eye of a user and includes a central region surrounded by a peripheral region. The antenna is disposed within the peripheral region between an outer edge of the ophthalmic device and the central region. The sensor system includes a sensor trace disposed within the peripheral region between the antenna and the central region. The first conductive trace is at least partially disposed between at least one of the antenna and the sensor trace or the central region and the sensor trace.

An ophthalmic device, comprising:
- an enclosure configured to mount on or in an eye of a user;
- a central region surrounded by a peripheral region;
- an antenna disposed within the peripheral region, wherein the antenna is disposed between an outer edge of the ophthalmic device and the central region;
- a sensor system including a sensor trace disposed within the peripheral region between the antenna and the central region;
- and
- a first conductive trace and a second conductive trace, wherein the first conductive trace is at least partially disposed between the antenna and the sensor trace, and wherein the first conductive trace and the second conductive trace each extend along opposite sides of the sensor trace to inhibit electromagnetic coupling between the antenna and the sensor system.
A system for a smart contact lens, the system comprising:
- a central region surrounded by a peripheral region;
- an antenna disposed within the peripheral region proximate to an outer edge of the smart contact lens;
- a sensor trace disposed within the peripheral region, wherein the sensor trace is at least partially encircled by the antenna;
- and
- a first conductive trace and a second conductive trace that each extend along opposite sides of the sensor trace to inhibit electromagnetic coupling between the antenna and the sensor trace, wherein the second conductive trace is disposed between the central region and the sensor trace, and wherein the first conductive trace is disposed between the sensor trace and the antenna.
