Kubota Vision Inc. announced it completed a myopia control wearable prototype based on Kubota Glasses technology.
Kubota stated in a press release that its research began with a tabletop optical projection device that showed axial length decreases with the use of projected myopically defocused images. Further proof-of-concept results validated the concept of wearable myopia control devices, which led to the development of the prototype.
“It is always a challenge to replicate the results and performance of a larger device in a smaller device. However, with our experts around the world collaborating and applying the experience, knowledge and skills gained through our PBOS (miniature OCT) device being developed with the NASA, we have been successful in advancing the value in this myopia control device as well,” Ryo Kubota, MD, PhD, chairman, president and CEO of Kubota Vision, said in the release.
Kubota plans to conduct further studies verifying the changes in axial length induced by myopically defocused virtual image projection over longer periods of time.
