The breakthroughs we need to make this happen are: a chip that detects when the lenses darken, a database being programmed onto a tiny chip, and a biochemical power supply for the contacts. By programming the chip to detect temperature changes in the contact, it can detect when the contacts begin to darken. For the database, we believe it can be done with enough work. And finally, the power supply can be created by the invention of a biochemical battery that reacts with the body substances in the eye to generate power for the contacts while in use.
A chip will need to detect when the lenses begin to darken to alert the other chip. The way this will work is by having the chip detect the temperature changes of the contact. Since the darkened lenses are absorbing light, they'll become warmer. The chip will detect this change and begin the process of warning the user.
A database needs to be able to programmed to a tiny chip in order to contain the information needed to detect how intense the light is. A chip with a database containing the standard ranges that can trigger seizures (0.2–1.5 million candlepower and 1–65Hz) and what or which colors are more provocative (red) will be able to work efficiently to identify harmful light.
The creation of a biochemical battery will allow the contact lenses to gain power while being used. The battery will react with substances in the eye such as the acid in the lacrimal fluid. The chemical energy of the acid that is in the fluid in our eyes can react with a conductive anode and be converted into electrical energy for the contacts.
