Abstract: The invention relates to an optical element having adjustable focal length comprising a first transparent layer having a chosen flexibility and being provided with a piezoelectric layer adapted to contract upon the application of an electrical voltage and thus bend the first transparent layer, the piezoelectric layer being symmetrically positioned relative to an axis, and wherein the first transparent layer is applied on a substrate having a through going cavity positioned essentially symmetrical relative to said axis, and a transparent polymer being positioned in said cavity having a surface contact with said first transparent layer.
