Millions of people worldwide suffer from macular degeneration and other low-vision disorders, conditions that cause severe visual impairment or even blindness. For those affected, even simple tasks like reading, recognizing faces, or enjoying daily activities can become incredibly challenging. Traditional vision aids have struggled to restore normal sight, especially in areas of the retina that are damaged by these diseases.
Soliddd Corp., a New York-based optical technology company, has developed a solution to address this issue. Their SolidddVision smartglasses utilize proprietary lens arrays, designed to project multiple images to the undamaged areas of the retina. This technology allows the brain to combine these images into a clear, full-field, 3D image—restoring sight where patients once saw nothing.
The smartglasses use a dual-camera system to capture the world and map the eye for automatic fit and gaze tracking. Advanced software processes these images, correcting common optical issues and ensuring a sharp, bright image. With SolidddVision, patients with macular degeneration can now see faces, read text, and engage with their surroundings with newfound clarity.
For those living with low vision, this technology offers a transformative solution, allowing them to regain a sense of independence and experience life in a way they once thought impossible.
