See Far project presents the Project outcomes impact assessment
The socio-economic analysis and the validation of the See Far solution include macroeconomic variables relevant to the EU context such as healthcare costs, welfare system costs, employment rate and competitiveness of the developed platform and gross domestic product (GDP). The analysis demonstrates how vision impairment can impact the direct cost to the health sector and the indirect costs of the loss of productivity in the…

New infographic / Diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy is a disease that affects the retina, can be considered a complication in disease evolution and, if it is not detected, can cause serious vision problems. It occurs as a result of damage that high levels of sugar exert on the blood vessels, these can dilate and increase their permeability, producing fumes of their content or they can be partially or totally narrowed,…

About Age-related macular degeneration and why do we advise the See Far glasses to be used
What is AMD Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative condition of the central retina (macula). In macular degeneration, very important light-sensitive photoreceptors and retina pigment epithelium begin to break down, causing gradual loss of the central vision. The condition may change to a more severe stage with severe vision loss and blindness1. AMD is one of the leading causes of vision impairment globally…
We have achieved an important milestone
The first prototype was delivered to the first hospital, as planned. Hospital Orden Hospitalaria De San Juan De Dios received, two days ago the Smart glasses and the D-eye camera as a See Far solution in to start the clinical trial. This is a great achievement for the project and consortium. Stay tuned for all the news and new milestones.
About Cataract and why do we advise the See Far glasses to be used
What is Cataract A cataract is an opacification of the eye’s natural lens that prevents the light rays from reaching the retina, leading to visual impairment. The lens becomes less flexible, less transparent, and thicker causing loss of vision1. Proteins and fibers within the lens build up, break down, and clump together, clouding the lenses,2. Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the…
