3D printing your own personalized contact lenses - ISRAEL21c
Lensy Medical, an Israeli startup founded in early 2022, is pioneering the development of 3D-printed contact lenses tailored to individual eye shapes. CEO Edan Kenig highlights the limitations of current mass-produced lenses, which often fail to fit 30% of users due to unique eye shapes. Lensys technology aims to address these issues by offering affordable, custom-fit lenses using resin 3D-printing. The company is currently in the early stages, having printed a prototype lens but still needing to refine it for human use. This innovation could revolutionize the contact lens market by providing a comfortable and cost-effective solution for those with atypical eye shapes, potentially expanding the market and improving user satisfaction.
