The IrisVision VR headset, which is an FDI Class I medical device, was developed by leading vision scientists in the United States. It has been backed by a grant from top vision institutions, including the National Eye Institute, and validated by eye specialists and researchers from top ophthalmology centers at Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, and UPMC Pittsburgh.
The wearable headset can be used to provide vision to those who suffer vision loss from a variety of causes including Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, Stargardt Disease, Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Glaucoma, Cataracts, Aniridia, and Optic Atrophy, among others.
The strategic partnership between IrisVision and South Korea consumer electronics giant, Samsung was announced at the Consumer Technology Association’s annual CES (formerly the Consumer Electronics Show) trade event this past January. IrisVision had already been awarded with a CES 2019 Innovation Award that recognized its technology and customer success.
