IXI Eyewear, a Finnish startup, is on a mission to digitally transform the conventional design of reading glasses and multifocal lenses—a design that has seen minimal evolution for more than two centuries. Their ambition is to rejuvenate the auto-focusing prowess of glasses, mirroring the natural ability of young eyes and thereby reducing the dependence on bifocal or progressive multifocal lenses. Backed by over $40 million in funding, including an investment from Amazon, the company is poised to introduce a pair of smart glasses that boast real-time auto-focusing capabilities, specifically tailored for the premium market segment.
