Japanese company Kubota Vision plans to begin selling its smart glasses that treats myopia to Asian markets in the second half of 2021.
What is Myopia?
Myopia is a refractive vision disorder, and occurs when the length of the eye is too great, making the cornea and retina too far apart.
This results in blurry vision from a distance.
How does wearing a pair of glasses fix the issue of nearsightedness?
Kubota Glasses project an image from the glasses’ lens onto the wearer’s eye, which adjust the distance between the cornea and the retina.
The company said that wearing the glasses for 60 to 90 minutes per day corrects myopia.
