1. A method for initiating an action responsive to identifying an eye gesture of an eye, the method comprising:
obtaining sensor measurements representing eye movement;
detecting an operational state associated with operation of an electronic contact lens;
after detecting the operational state, detecting, based on the sensor measurements, a first saccade comprising a first change in orientation in a first direction;
during a specified time window following detection of the first saccade, detecting, based on the sensor measurements, a second saccade comprising a second change in orientation in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction; and
initiating the action based on detecting the second saccade during the specified time window following the detecting of the first saccade, wherein initiating the action is further responsive to the operational state being one of a predefined set of operational states associated with initiating the action.
