Problem
Current vision correction methods often fail to fully address complex refractive errors, including presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and higher-order aberrations, leaving many patients with suboptimal visual acuity and quality of life. Existing solutions may not be customizable enough to meet individual patient needs or may involve invasive procedures with potential complications.
Solution
Clerio Vision is developing Laser Induced Refractive Index Change (LIRIC) technology, a non-invasive method for creating highly customized and optically superior lens patterns within various materials. This technology enables precise, three-dimensional modification of the refractive index in contact lenses, intraocular lenses, and the cornea itself, allowing for correction of a wide range of vision errors. By utilizing femtosecond lasers, LIRIC can produce complex lens designs tailored to individual patient needs, potentially improving visual outcomes compared to traditional methods. The technology aims to provide a versatile platform for vision correction, addressing both common refractive errors and more complex aberrations.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes patients with refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia, as well as ophthalmologists and optometrists seeking advanced vision correction solutions.
