Abstract
The present invention provides for a programmable processor in a ophthalmic lens storage unit for contact lenses. The processor can be in logical connection with a plurality of sensors that can provide data and a digital storage for storing the data and using it via executable software for lens monitoring. In some embodiments, the processor is additionally operative via the executable software to correlate geo-social phenomena with the optical performance of a lens.
