IRISON – Ophtalmic Eye Trainer in the Form of Glasses

IRISON – Ophthalmic Eye Trainer in the Form of Glasses with Precise Pulsed Light Therapy and Multilevel Parameter Stabilization

ELMI Ltd. is implementing a research project under the Latvian Recovery and Resilience Plan, Reform and Investment Area 5.1 “Increasing Productivity through Higher Investment in R&D”, Reform 5.1.1.r. “Innovation Management and Incentives for Private R&D Investment”, Investment 5.1.1.2.i. “Support Instrument for Research and Internationalisation”, within the framework of the implementation rules for the second selection round.

Research Project Number and Title:

Research No. 30 “IRISON – Ophthalmic Eye Trainer in the Form of Glasses with Precise Pulsed Light Therapy and Multilevel Parameter Stabilization”

Project No. 5.1.1.2.i.0/2/24/A/CFLA/006 “Competence Centre of the Electrical and Optical Equipment Manufacturing Sector of Latvia”

Research Implementation Period:

1 July 2026 – 30 September 2027

Research Objective:

The objective of the project is to develop, validate, and demonstrate a new-generation IRISON ophthalmic device in the form of glasses in a relevant operational environment. The device is designed to provide precise, reproducible, and individually adjustable pulsed light therapy to the eye area.

The device is intended as a wearable medical technology incorporating RGB light modules for each eye, an external control unit, and a multilevel light parameter stabilization system.

Expected Results:

– A prototype of the IRISON glasses-type ophthalmic pulsed light therapy device;
– A multilevel light parameter stabilization and calibration technology;
– Laboratory validation and demonstration results that will provide a basis for the further commercialization of the device.

Progress Achieved During the Reporting Period:

During the reporting period (1 July 2026 – 30 September 2026), the system architecture of the IRISON device was developed, functional blocks were defined, RGB light modules were selected, a conceptual solution for the multilevel stabilization system was developed, and the limit values for therapeutic light parameters were established.

Funding:

The research is being carried out with the support of the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility under Project No. 5.1.1.2.i.0/2/24/A/CFLA/006 “Competence Centre of the Electrical and Optical Equipment Manufacturing Sector of Latvia”.

The total eligible costs of the project amount to EUR 172,201.35, including EUR 111,930.88 in funding from the Latvian Recovery and Resilience Facility
