An apparatus, worn over the eyes of a user, that restores visual clarity to the user in response to a change associated with a film of fluid over the apparatus. In an embodiment the apparatus includes a smart contact portion having at least a first convex surface, a second convex surface, and a concave surface. The apparatus further includes set of liquid thickness sensors embedded upon the first convex surface. The apparatus further includes an electrochemical storage device and a computing module. The apparatus further includes a plurality of ultrasonic transducers embedded upon the first convex surface. The apparatus further includes an electroactive lens structure embedded within central portion of the first convex surface. The apparatus further includes lens controllers that apply electrical signals to the electroactive lens structure to change at least one physical characteristic of the electroactive lens structure based on control signals from the computing module.
