Eyedaptic has launched the EYE6 with Ivy, a next-generation pair of smart glasses featuring an interactive, artificial intelligence (AI)-based visual assistant for patients diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Let’s start with this company.
Founded in 2016 and based in Laguna Beach, California, Eyedaptic is a privately owned vision-enhancement solutions company that has developed a proprietary “vision enhancing” software intended to stimulate a person's natural vision.

And who are the target patients?
The technology is geared toward those with visual impairment caused by retinal diseases—specifically, macular degeneration (AMD).

The company has also noted that its technology’s efficacy may be decreased for patients with dense cataracts or other retinal diseases—aside from AMD—that involve degraded vision.

And how is it doing this?
Via two current forms of noninvasive eyewear devices to be worn like glasses:

EYE5 glasses
Designed to optimize a user’s functional peripheral across a wide range of use situations via a small embedded camera that captures a user’s environment

EYE6 glasses (our topic of choice)
Their purpose: To serve as comfortable eyewear for patients diagnosed with AMD and (in the case of EYE5) diabetic retinopathy (DR).

Note: Previous patented versions of these glasses included the EYE2, EYE3, and EYE4.
