IXI adaptive eyewear for a growing vision care market
← Back to press releases
IXI is developing adaptive eyewear for people with myopia and progressing presbyopia, two vision conditions that are becoming more prevalent due to population aging, screen-heavy lifestyles, and longer working lives. The company is targeting a large and growing global eyewear market in which traditional progressive lenses remain the standard solution despite significant compromises in comfort, field of vision, and visual clarity. By addressing a widespread daily need with a premium but practical product, IXI is aiming to create a new category in vision correction.
Its breakthrough combines proprietary liquid crystal lenses with ultra-low-power infrared eye tracking to adjust optical power dynamically based on where the wearer is looking. This allows users to see clearly across distances without the distortions and discomfort associated with conventional progressive lenses. Building on its EIC-backed development program, IXI’s goals include advancing the product toward commercialization, refining the compact eyewear design, and bringing adaptive autofocus vision correction to market in a form factor suitable for everyday use.
EIC Accelerator provides an excellent financing opportunity for small and medium sized companies for product development and commercial uptake with novel technologies. Applying for the EIC Accelerator funding should be considered if your company:
- has developed a novel technological solution with a superior value proposition;
- has tested and validated a prototype proving the benefits of the technology;
- has early traction with the first customers and proven strong market demand for the solution.
