Retina Forum National Meeting
Eyedaptic, a leader in vision-enhancement solutions, today
unveiled its latest breakthrough, the EYE6 with Ivy, the only
wearable vision aid that both enhances vision and provides an
artificial intelligence (AI) powered visual assistant. The EYE6 is
the next generation of Eyedaptic’s smart glasses offering game
changing features including Ivy, an interactive visual assistant to
help and empower individuals with age-related macular degeneration
(AMD) and other retinal disorders that cause vision loss. The EYE6
with Ivy will be introduced at the American Retina Forum National
Meeting, taking place August 7, 2024, in Carlsbad, CA.
Over 250 million people globally are affected by retinal
diseases that cause vision loss. The EYE6 with Ivy leverages
advanced multimodal generative AI (GenAI) and large language models
(LLMs) to visualize and interpret real-time information for users,
helping to improve their daily living experiences and independence.
The Ivy Visual Assistant can read text, describe a room, locate
objects, and help users with other daily tasks and activities that
otherwise may not have been possible due to their vision loss. Ivy
is fluent in 99 languages and adapts dynamically to diverse
environments, providing customized visual augmentation that aligns
with each individual’s needs.
"Our commitment to innovation is evident in Ivy’s development,
combining state-of-the-art machine learning with user-centric
design that redefines how individuals with visual impairments
interact with their surroundings,” said Jay Cormier, Chief
Executive Officer and Founder of Eyedaptic. “As we continue to push
boundaries in visual assistive technology, The EYE6 with Ivy
represents a culmination of our team’s dedication and expertise,
and we are excited to introduce this advanced, wearable vision aid
to eye care specialists and their patients.”
Remaining steadfast in its mission to enhance vision and improve
the quality of life for individuals with vision impairments,
Eyedaptic is committed to addressing the unmet needs in the
vision-assistive technology landscape. The new EYE6 with Ivy builds
upon its predecessor and offers visual assistance combined with
vision enhancement to provide a seamless user experience.

“The implementation and integration of AI in visual assistive
devices is truly groundbreaking,” said Mitul Mehta, MD and Chief
Medical Officer of Eyedaptic. “With the EYE6, individuals with
vision impairments now have a visual assistant to help them do
everyday tasks and activities that weren’t possible before. They
can ask Ivy to read a page to them or describe a room. With Ivy,
the possibilities are endless allowing individuals to remain
independent and have a better quality of life.”
The American Retina Forum is hosting its Fourth National Meeting
