The present invention is generally related to the field of optical systems and/or lens attachments, and more specific to an optical system and/or lens attachment providing a switchable Optical Power Switch (OPS) controllably switchable between different states. A soft transparent material (), for example silicone-gel is disposed onto a surface of a glass plate (). The glass plate () can be moved with actuators towards a surface of a lens body (). When the soft material element () is in contact with the surface of the lens body (), this surface changes its optical feature.

Optical power switch (OPS)

The present invention is related to a lens assembly comprising a flexible lens body () inside a cavity bounded by a sidewall () and a first transparent cover (), and a second transparent cover (), wherein both covers () are in contact with respective surfaces of the lens body (). Piezo electric elements () shapes the lens body () when activated, thereby adjusting the focal length of the lens assembly.
