Abstract
The present invention will provide a vision correction device which utilizes the movements of the eye to correct the focus of the user without the need of surgical procedures. More specifically, the present invention will detect the movement of the ciliary muscle and adaptively modify the shape of an artificial lens positioned inside or outside of the eye to adjust the focus of the lens. This adjustment will occur very rapidly and coincide with the ciliary muscle's attempt to focus the crystalline lens of the eye.
