contents Smart contact lenses are at the forefront of integrating microelectronics, biomedical engineering, and optics into wearable technologies. This work addresses a key obstacle in their development: achieving autonomous power without compromising safety or miniaturization. We examine energy harvesting strategies using intrinsic ocular sources-particularly tear salinity and eyelid motion-to enable sustainable operation without external batteries. The study emphasizes compact loop antennas operating between 900 MHz and 1.1 GHz as critical for wireless data transmission and power management. Material choices, signal integrity, and biocompatibility are also discussed. By presenting recent advances in 3D-printed optics, antenna integration, and energy systems, we propose a conceptual framework for the next generation of smart lenses, enabling real-time health monitoring and vision enhancement through self-powered, compact devices.
