Problem
Individuals with central vision loss due to conditions like Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Retinopathy experience difficulty performing everyday tasks, impacting their independence and quality of life. Current vision solutions often rely solely on magnification, which can limit the field of vision and hinder the ability to perceive the entire image.
Solution
Eyedaptic develops software-driven smart glasses that leverage augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance vision for individuals with central vision loss. The glasses simulate natural vision by optimizing peripheral vision, enabling users to manage everyday tasks more easily. Unlike traditional magnification-based solutions, Eyedaptic glasses allow users to view the entire image, improving visual clarity and overall quality of life. The hands-free design allows users to move about freely without restrictions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals with central vision loss due to conditions such as Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy, and Stargardt’s Disease, as well as the eyecare professionals who serve them.
