IXI's autofocusing lenses are almost ready to replace multifocal glasses

3 days ago

IXI's autofocus glasses aim to modernize traditional eyewear, targeting age-related farsightedness in people over 45.
The glasses use liquid crystal lenses and infrared eye tracking without cameras, automatically switching prescriptions and consuming minimal power.
Prototypes are lightweight, resemble normal glasses, and can integrate with existing prescriptions, potentially eliminating need for multifocals.
The technology includes sensors for tracking eye movements, blinking, and gaze direction, offering health insights via a companion app.
IXI plans to launch as a high-end luxury product through opticians next year, pending medical certifications and manufacturing partnerships.
