Azalea Vision, a venture-capital-backed startup and spin-off from Imec and Ghent University, is creating a medical device with an active light management system inside a contact lens. People suffering from ocular disorders (aniridia, coloboma, ocular albinism, etc.) or neuro-ophthalmic conditions (chronic migraine, etc.) will directly benefit from Azalea Vision’s smart contact lens. Alma. That’s Spanish for Soul, and it’s how we would like to sum up our mission. ALMA also means Active Light Management, the solution we are developing to improve the quality of life of people with iris disorders and high light sensitivity.
