Human vision is a complex affair but at its heart it's also very simple it's about two
eyes that come together in perfect harmony the story of Adlens mirrors the story of vision
it's about complex cutting edge product innovation but at its heart it's also very simple
it's about better lives through better vision and the things that come together to make that happen
Hong Kong and Oxford
Philanthropy and Physics
technology and those that inspire it
Adlens was founded in 2005 by James Chen a Hong Kong based businessman and philanthropist
and Joshua Silver Professor of Atomic Physics at Oxford University
both men saw that adaptive optics could transform the way the world see's
and they carried that belief into philanthropic works in the developing world
[James Chen] that this technology could change lives for the better was obvious but true innovation must go further
I believe that lasting change in the developing world can only come through designing and making products that people desire
products that are commercially successful [End James Chen]
Today Adlens is the leader in the development of a new category - variable focus eye wear
right now almost 100,000 people around the world are wearing Adlens glasses across two different lens platforms
Alvarez and fluid filled
we made Alvarez to provide infinitely adjustable instant vision for anyone in extreme situations
Fluid filled is fun it's cutting edge technology and it's already popular in Japan
these two technology platforms are developing rapidly to meet the needs of our consumers
and soon there will be a third
we're working now on the next generation technology we want
to combine adjustable lenses with prescription eye wear to provide users with clear near
and distant vision the users would then be able to adjust their whole lens for clear
vision at any working distance at any time
we call this fluid-compression technology or FCT
we believe and our customers tell us that FCT spells the end of progressive lenses
as the world knows them because for the first time it combines precision vision with style
variable focus eye wear it's a new category in town Adlens is the global leader Understanding
the needs of our customers is central to the success of our technology and our business
our future is incredibly exciting Adlens - A different way to see the world
Imagine what that could look like
