The present invention provides a method for forming an ophthalmic lens that may include a media insert and / or an electronic component. In particular, the present invention provides adhesion promoting functionalization steps for biocompatible coatings to bond the hydrogel material to plastic surfaces or electronic components prior to hydrogel polymerization. In some aspects, the media insert may be used to accommodate a functional electronic component and / or energy source, which may be, for example, a laminate integrated component configuration, to allow for a generally arcuate shape that can match the front surface of the eye have. |
