Revolutionary Eyewear Technology for Health and Wellness Applications Launched

Revolutionary Eyewear Technology for Health and Wellness Applications LaunchedPercept Corporation, a technology developer for the global vision industry, has unveiled its latest product, the MiWear Pro™. Currently available only through Percept’s select partnership of eye care professionals, the MiWear Pro™ is a revolutionary advancement in color wavelength mitigation based on Percept’s patented Augmented Perception ™ technology. The science behind nbGL has been shown to promote calming, relaxation, and other therapeutic benefits, and was pioneered by world-renowned migraine and neurology researcher at Harvard, Dr. Rami Burstein, who is also an advisor to Percept.

The technology regulates the full-color spectrum present in naturally occurring light to allow only the narrow green-band wavelength (nbGL), while simultaneously providing a lens transmissivity high enough to allow the user to read fine print or operate a smartphone, tablet, or view TV.

Jim McGrann, President and Chief Operating Officer of Percept, said, “MiWear™ represents the first in a family of products that can expand eyewear into the health and wellness space… Percept is partnering with our Percept Global Network of eyecare professionals to launch MiWear™ to the consumer market.

As Percept emerges from stealth mode since its founding in 2013, with a deep patent portfolio and go-to-market plan in billion-dollar markets, the MiWear Pro™ is already transforming the health and quality of life for early users. Percept optometrist advisor, Dr. Dorothy Hitchmoth, said, “Our patients are saying that it is changing their lives. We have patients who suffer from chronic headaches, anxiety, have trouble sleeping, or maybe just feel the effects of long hours in front of a computer. Now they sit in our office and tell us about the change; it is life-altering for them.
