PIXEL OPTICS, INC.

Pixel Optics is a company founded by experienced ophthalmology experts that have developed several revolutionary spectacle lens technologies to provide a better vision experience for eyeglass wearers.  The company’s unique, patented lens products are produced using proprietary composite lens technology that approaches lens development from a completely new perspective.  Pixel Optics combines lens design principles and well known, proven lens materials to create new categories of eyeglass lenses that address vision problems more accurately and effectively.

This revolutionary composite technology forms the basis of a number of exciting new lens products that Pixel Optics will be launching, including both “static” lenses having a fixed focus, and “dynamic” lenses with a changeable focus, such as electro-active lenses.  The company has registered over 200 lens related patents and patent applications worldwide..

Pixel Optics lenses will be marketed through traditional vision care industry distribution channels.  There are no special equipment requirements or processes necessary to incorporate Pixel’s lenses into a standard vision care provider’s office.  With Pixel’s breakthrough products, everyone wins – eyeglass consumers, vision care professionals, optical dispensaries and wholesale laboratories.

Co-investors with KB in this company include Delphi Ventures, The Carlyle Group, Longitude Ventures, Life Science Angels and Panasonic Ventures.
