SolidddVision offers electronic eyeglasses that project structured light onto the peripheral retina to stimulate the visual cortex and reconstruct central images for patients with macular degeneration and other central vision loss conditions. The device uses real‑time retinal mapping and high‑precision gaze tracking to align illumination to each user’s retinal topology and includes on‑device processing for AR/VR overlays and diagnostic data capture for clinicians.

Problem
Individuals with macular degeneration and other retinal disorders experience central vision loss, distortion, or complete blind spots, limiting their ability to read, recognize faces, and perform daily tasks. Conventional low‑vision aids such as magnifying glasses or AR headsets do not restore true visual acuity in the affected retinal regions.
Solution
SolidddVision delivers true vision correction through a pair of electronic eyeglasses that emit parallel light beams from the peripheral field of view onto the far edges of the retina. By projecting structured illumination into healthy peripheral retinal tissue, the system stimulates the visual cortex to reconstruct missing central images, enabling stereoscopic perception from both eyes. The glasses incorporate high‑resolution gaze tracking and retinal mapping to align the projected light with the user’s unique retinal topology, supporting both vision restoration and diagnostic data capture. The hardware integrates AR/VR capabilities, allowing seamless transition between therapeutic vision correction and immersive visual applications while maintaining a lightweight, wearable form factor.
Target Audience
The primary users are patients with macular degeneration, central cone dystrophy, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or stroke‑related vision loss, as well as eye‑care professionals (optometrists and ophthalmologists) who prescribe low‑vision solutions and require diagnostic insight.
Features
- Electronic eyeglass frame with integrated light‑projection modules that deliver parallel rays to peripheral retinal zones
- Stereo vision processing that combines inputs from both eyes to generate a unified, corrected central image
- Real‑time retinal mapping and high‑precision gaze tracking for personalized illumination alignment
- Built‑in diagnostics platform that records retinal response data for monitoring disease progression (e.g., AMD, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, post‑stroke visual deficits)
- AR/VR overlay functionality that leverages the corrected visual field for immersive experiences without additional hardware
- Secure, on‑device processing with encrypted data transmission to cloud services for clinician review and longitudinal analysis
