Soliddd Corp

HITLAB has partnered with Soliddd Corp to conduct a useability study. Soliddd Corp is an optical technology company that has developed groundbreaking low-vision glasses tailored for macular degeneration. These glasses utilize advanced stereo vision technology to project multiple images onto different parts of the retina, effectively bypassing damaged areas and restoring vision in previously blind spots. Thus, Soliddd is able to create the first real vision correction for macular degeneration. Soliddd is also a recent Breakthrough Alliance Challenge winner. As part of the study, HITLAB is looking to recruit retinologists, low vision specialists and ophthalmologists for studying usability of Soliddd’s glasses. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) poses a significant challenge in ophthalmology, one of the primary causes of irreversible vision loss worldwide. It affects about 8.7% of all blind individuals globally, casting a shadow over the lives of millions, especially the elderly. The prevalence of AMD is expected to rise sharply, with projections indicating that nearly 288 million people will be affected by 2040. Read the full article on our website
