Abstract
The disclosure relates to an optical article comprising an optical lens shell having an internal surface, a support element mounting said shell, disposed in a fixed position, and movably mounting a moveable element between a first position and a second position. The optical article further comprises a sealed cavity, placed between the moveable element and the internal surface of the shell. The optical article is switchable between a first configuration, in which the moveable element is passively held against the shell and a second configuration, in which the cavity is filled with a predetermined amount of a fluid altering the propagation of visible light and the moveable element is released from the shell by the pressure exerted by the fluid in the cavity. The disclosure also comprises a corresponding method for controlling said optical article.
