Abstract
An ophthalmic lens producing an electrical current by means of two opposing electrode plates includes a matrix and a friction-based generator of electricity. The generator is in the matrix and includes a top electrode and a bottom electrode. The top electrode includes a polymer layer and a first metal layer stacked together. The bottom electrode includes a second metal layer facing the second metal layer. In an initial state, the second metal layer and the polymer layer are spaced apart from each other. In a contact state, the second metal layer and the polymer layer are configured to be in contact, through eye movement, to produce electricity.
