Eyedaptic Presents Augmented Reality Visual Aid Clinical Data at Envision Conference
Presentation is set to review head worn vision enhancement options focused on improving quality of life for those suffering with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Low Vision KOL and Optometry Advisor Dr. Rebecca Kammer will present clinical data on Eyedaptic’s Eye-1 Augmented Reality Device at the upcoming Envision Conference. The first clinical evaluation data will be presented by Dr. Kammer on August 22 at 4pm CST at the Grand Hyatt Wichita, Kansas. Envision is the premier international conference for networking with medical professionals, researchers and industry representatives to present ideas on how to improve the lives of those with low vision.
