Vivid Vision
Vivid Vision is a San Francisco medical technology company that turns virtual reality headsets into tools for vision care. Founded in 2014 by programmer James Blaha, who built the first prototype to treat his own lazy eye, the company started with VR games for amblyopia and strabismus and now runs two lines: a clinical and at-home vision therapy suite used in clinics across 50+ countries, and Vivid Vision Perimetry (VVP), a VR-based visual field test being adopted as a digital endpoint in pharmaceutical clinical trials for glaucoma, AMD, and geographic atrophy.
Luminopia
Luminopia is a commercial-stage digital therapeutics company that turns a child's favorite TV shows into FDA-cleared medicine for amblyopia (lazy eye). Children wear a VR headset for one hour a day, six days a week, and watch curated, real-time-modified episodes that retrain the brain to use both eyes together. Founded by Harvard dropouts and incubated at Boston Children's Hospital, Luminopia One became the first FDA-approved digital therapeutic for a neuro-visual disorder.
