Ocular device having passthrough lens and electronic projection

Abstract

An electronic ocular device is configured to be implanted in an eye and includes: a passthrough aperture defining an optical path extending through the electronic device from a front side of the electronic device to a back side of the electronic device; multiple imaging systems configured to receive incoming light at the eye; and multiple projection systems configured to project images onto multiple different regions of a retina of the eye based on the incoming light received by the imaging systems. The optical path through the passthrough aperture may be selectively blocked or unblocked such that electronic device can be selectively adjusted between a first mode of vision and a second mode of vision. Power used by the electronic ocular device is minimized by operating different ones of the projection systems at different resolutions based on different eye resolution at different regions of the retina.
