A Revolution in Glasses

February 1, 2011

The lens is engraved with special patterns which shifts the phase of light waves, enabling clear focus on objects both near and far. “We call this an interferometric solution, combining the best of refractive and diffractive lenses,” Zalevsky says. The solution consists of a single lens that enables wearers to see more clearly, no matter what their vision problem or whether they wear glasses, contact lenses, or intraocular [implanted] lenses.

“If you wear bifocals, you will no longer have to move your head up and down to access the near or far vision areas…” he promises. His company, Xceed Imaging, has been in business since he helped found it in 2007. “I believe this solution will help many people who in the past were only able to receive partial relief for their vision problems,” he asserts.

One group whom he expects will welcome the lenses is those suffering from astigmatism, especially irregular astigmatism. Currently, there are no reliable solutions for the condition, but Zalevsky says that Xceed's products will greatly enhance focus for them. For more information: [email protected], +972-3-927-1297.
