Read #0008 in the description.

0008] In further aspects, the components or objects placed within the pre-defined spaces of a swellable contact lens enhance, modify or extend lens function and in particular, can operate to achieve one or more of providing diagnostics or changing refractive power, focal length, light intensity, transmission control and zoom capabilities of a lens. Various lens effects are thus contemplated including controlled volume displacement, deformation, surface curvature change, thickness changes and modification of dioptric power. In order to accomplish such effects, one or more of mechanical deformation, squeezing, perimeter changes and circumferential or diametric changes can be employed. Moreover, various actuators such as electromagnetic energy, piezoelectric effects, shape memory materials or motors can be utilized. Further micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), depots, and valves are also contemplated for incorporation into a contact lens to create various effects or provide specific functions, as are various other non-swellable components or other components which swell but to a different or lesser degree than a substrate of a lens.
