About Elcyo

Elcyo is a Tohoku University-affiliated startup developing auto-focus glasses that automatically adjust focus using advanced liquid crystal lens technology. Through our innovative lens development, we aim to address vision problems caused by eye diseases and enhance people's quality of life by making everyday living more comfortable and convenient.
 
Elcyo's auto-focus glasses offer real-time, optimal vision correction by sensing the user's eyes. This technology not only helps prevent eye diseases and lifestyle-related conditions, which are becoming significant societal issues, but also promotes overall health starting from the eyes. Additionally, we are working towards creating and popularizing a new healthcare platform system that integrates seamlessly with these auto-focus glasses.
 
 
 

Background of the Fundraising

Elcyo was founded as a university spin-off after years of technological development at Osaka University, with the mission to alleviate the suffering associated with vision problems and create a world free from the stress of impaired vision.
 
Supported by the NEDO Entrepreneurs Program (a grant program for R&D startups by NEDO), we have been developing a prototype of adjustable eyewear. With this recent funding, we will advance to producing pre-mass-production models and further develop next-generation technologies.
