Abstract

The present invention in various embodiments relates to a variety of different types of fluidic adaptive lens systems, pumping systems for implementation in such lens systems, other systems employing such lens systems, and related methods of fabrication. In at least some embodiments, the present invention relates to a lens system that includes a reservoir having at least one flexible wall, a first actuator coupled in relation to the reservoir, and a terminal at which is located at least one of an integrated fluidic lens and a port configured to be coupled to an external fluidic lens. The terminal is coupled to at least one of the reservoir and the actuator, and at least one of the actuator and a first pumping system including the actuator is capable of causing fluid to be moved at least one of from the reservoir toward the terminal, and from the terminal toward the reservoir.
