Startup Fights Screen Eyes with Smart Glasses

Excessive daily smartphone use, often exceeding three hours, is linked to numerous eye health problems like fatigue and blurred vision. Edenlux, a South Korean technology startup, is pioneering solutions for these digital-age ailments. Founder Sungyong Park, a medical doctor, was driven to create vision-enhancing technology after experiencing temporary paralysis of his eye muscles.

Edenlux is preparing to launch its second wellness device, Eyeary, in the U.S. market via Indiegogo, aiming for a late March launch. Unlike medical devices, Eyeary is classified under the FDA's wellness category, focusing on vision training and general eye health. This device follows their 2022 launch of Otus, a VR-style device that has generated $10 million in revenue.

Eyeary is designed to be more user-friendly and efficient than Otus, with Park claiming it could shorten the time to reduce dependence on reading glasses from 12 months to approximately six months. The glasses-like device features 144 diopter focal points for precise adjustments and connects to a mobile app. This app collects data, enabling Edenlux to use AI for predicting improvement timelines and customizing training programs.
