SolidddVision smartglasses, the first true vision correction for people living with vision loss due to macular degeneration, is making its debut at CES 2025.

Macular degeneration is an eye disease that makes it hard for people to see what’s in front of them. While their peripheral vision is intact, the central vision is significantly impaired. Macular degeneration primarily impacts the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. This makes it hard to see fine details, read, recognize faces, or do things that require clear sight.
