Presbyopia in a nutshell.

A physiological condition that affects 1.8 billion people today, and gradually takes away your eyes’ ability to focus up close — on a book, a menu, a phone.

Technology

How Glassless works.

Glassless learns the compensation mapping with a neural network, rather than the iterative image-processing approach used in most published research. That shifts the cost off the device at run time and keeps correction responsive on consumer hardware.

01
User input
Glassless starts from a small amount of data about the user's eye — their near-vision prescription and viewing distance — and builds a personal vision profile that the rest of the pipeline is tuned to.
02
Distortion simulation
That profile drives an optical model of the eye: how the user's refractive error spreads light from each display pixel across the retina. The model predicts what the person actually perceives, not what the panel emits.
03
Image processing
The content is then re-rendered so that, once it passes through the modelled eye, it lands sharp. Text and edges are pre-compensated in real time, frame by frame, at interactive latency.
04
Screen-based compensation
The corrected frame is shown on the display itself. No lenses, no wearables, no additional hardware in front of the user — the panel does the work.
