Abstract
A method includes sensing one or more pattern elements on a patterned contact lens on the eye of a person. Movement or direction of the person's eye is assessed based on the sensing of the one or more pattern elements. The pattern elements may be sensed using a single-pixel sensor. The pattern may include, for example, a pattern of elements having different colors.

A method, comprising:
- sensing one or more pattern elements on a patterned contact lens on the eye of a person, wherein the comprises a checkerboard arrangement of pattern elements, and wherein the pattern elements are disposed on the contact lens such that pattern elements substantially surround the pupil, but do not substantially cover the pupil of the eye of the person;
- and
- assessing movement or direction of the person's eye based at least in part on the sensing of the one or more pattern elements.

A method, comprising:
- sensing one or more pattern elements on a patterned contact lens on the eye of a person, wherein the pattern elements are disposed on the contact lens such that pattern elements cover a portion of the contact lens in a region apart from the pupil of the eye of the person;
- and
- assessing movement or direction of the person's eye based at least in part on the sensing of the one or more pattern elements.
