A liquid lens including (i) a first liquid and a second liquid disposed within a containment region, the first liquid and the second liquid forming an interface between the first liquid and the second liquid; (ii) an electrode; and (iii) an insulating layer separating the electrode from the first liquid and the second liquid, the insulating layer comprising a polymeric material and a slippery omniphobic covalently attached liquid that is chemically bonded to the polymeric material, the slippery omniphobic covalently attached liquid providing a surface contacting one or more of the first liquid and the second liquid. The polymeric material of the insulating layer can be a poly(para-xylylene). The slippery omniphobic covalently attached liquid can include units of a silicone or polyolefin, each unit individually bound to a repeating unit of the polymeric material. A liquid lens where the insulating layer has a quality factor at least 200.
