1. A method of manufacturing a lens comprising:
placing an opto-electronic module on a layer of a lens material, the opto-electronic module comprising a plurality of light sources, the plurality light sources configured to direct light to a periphery of a retina of an eye within the range of eccentricity of 10 degrees to 50 degrees;
wherein the plurality of light sources is configured to emit a plurality of light beams, to overlap the plurality of light beams within the eye, and to illuminate the periphery of the retina at non-overlapping locations and each of the plurality of light sources is configured to illuminate the periphery of the retina on an opposite side of the retina in relation to a location of said each light source on the lens.
