Method of manufacturing hydrogel ophthalmic devices with electronic elements

A method of forming an energized ophthalmic device, the method comprising:

• pre-dosing a first mold part with a pre-dose amount of a reactive monomer mixture;
• functionalizing an electronic element so that an adhesion promoter can bind to a surface of said electronic element;
• applying an adhesion promoter to the functionalized electronic element;
• coating said electronic element including the adhesion promoter;
• placing the electronic element on said pre-dose of reactive monomer mixture;
• pre-curing the pre-dosed reactive monomer mixture to fixedly hold the electronic element proximate to the first mold part;
• post-dosing the first mold part with a post-dose of a reactive monomer mixture;
• placing a second mold part proximate to the first mold part, wherein the placing forms an ophthalmic device mold assembly with a lens forming cavity;
• and
• curing at least the post-dosed reactive monomer mixture to form the energized ophthalmic lens.

A method of forming an energized ophthalmic device, the method comprising:

• functionalizing an electronic element so that an adhesion promoter can bind to a surface of said electronic element;
• applying an adhesion promoter to the functionalized electronic element;
• coating said electronic element including the adhesion promoter with a parylene layer;
• and
• fixing said coated electronic element in a hydrogel ophthalmic device.
