About the Work
Across the world, there are 250 million people with low vision, a condition defined by the World Health Organization as having an eyesight of less than 0.3 but greater than or equal to 0.05, even with the aid of correction tools. QD Laser is a company that developed Visirium, a low-level laser technology that projects images directly onto the retina. Using this technology, the company developed a glasses-like correction device for people with low vision. However, through interviews with the target demographic, the company realized that people with low vision do not necessarily seek to see clearly all the time. Based on this unexpected discovery, the company decided to develop a new device that better suited the needs of people with low vision: a camera that lets them capture those moments that they truly wish to see clearly. Another feature of this camera is that visually abled people can also use it, allowing the visually abled and people with low vision to share the same camera. The product enjoyed great interest from investors and other companies, leading to new funding and collaborations. The groundbreaking nature of the product, as well as high expectations for QD Laser's Visirium technology, has helped the company maintain a high share price since being listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in February 2021.
