IrisVision is the global leader in digital vision technologies

IrisVision is the global leader in digital vision technologies. We have developed the world’s first and only smart visual assistive device built on wearable VR technology to help millions of vision-impaired people regain their sight, achieve independence and do the things they love.

Harnessing the power of a Samsung Galaxy smartphone mounted in a VR headset, IrisVision’s easy-to-use system enables people who have impaired visual acuity due to conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and RP see clearly again.

Backed by a research grant from the National Eye Institute, IrisVision is the only wearable low vision solution that is clinically validated, award winning and developed in collaboration with researchers from top ophthalmology centers at Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University and UPMC Pittsburg.
