A startup from Osaka University that develops. Through the development of these glasses, we *solve problems caused by presbyopia and eye diseases* and *make people’s lives more comfortable and convenient* That’s what I’m aiming for.

It has been. When you become presbyopic, you can’t change the focus, so you have no choice but to use two or three reading glasses or bifocal glasses. However, it is a hassle to keep changing glasses, and in some cases, wearing glasses with the wrong prescription can accelerate the deterioration of presbyopia. in this way,*

In order to solve the above-mentioned issues, Elsio has developed * autofocus glasses (glasses that automatically focus) whose power automatically changes according to the scene of daily life * is being developed. Elsio’s autofocus glasses are thinner than other companies’ products* “Thinner, wider field of view, and allows for a wider range of dioptric power changes”*
Therefore, you can use them comfortably just like regular glasses. As a result, people who suffer from presbyopia or eye diseases can now live with just one pair of ELSIOR autofocus glasses, freeing them from the problem of replacing glasses. Elsio’s lenses are also expected to be used in the XR field to prevent motion sickness, and we have received inquiries from many related companies.
