The French start-up Abeye markets glasses, the Lexilens, which are a real reading aid for dyslexics. Clubic presents them to you.
Michael Kodochian, president and founder of the start-up Abeye backed by the ATOL chain of opticians, has developed smart glasses for health and well-being, the Lexilens. More specifically, this pair of reading aid glasses, which we were able to discover on Wednesday at VivaTech, is dedicated to people with dyslexic disorders. The glasses, which can be used as soon as they are on, are made in France and could attract a large market. Indeed, nearly 10% of the world’s population suffers from dys disorders, ” i.e., on average, 2 children per class “recalls Michael Kodochian.
Glasses that have already convinced thousands of dyslexics
Actor of the French Care, the start-up Abeye, based in Beaune in the middle of the vineyards of Burgundy, put Lexilens glasses on the market two years ago. For this, it relied on a fundamental discovery in neuroscience, with the aim of instantly streamlining the reading and understanding of dyslexic people.
The scope contains a battery, electronics and active lenses. The model, sold at a price of 450 euros, already has more than 5,000 followers, spread over thirty countries. ” We report a satisfaction rate of 92% “, explains Michael Kodochian, delighted that his glasses, which will also be exhibited at the Élysée at the end of June, have already been able to change the lives of thousands of people. Waiting for more.
After the glasses, the computer
At VivaTech, Abeye also showcased its new product, a computer that natively contains eyewear technology. Michael Kodochian tells us more: You connect the device to your computer, and you can natively read the text. We did the test, and imagine that people who can’t read a printed sheet manage to read it in Word format on the screen. »
Abeye has the advantage of now addressing two different markets. With the glasses, the start-up made in France targets students and schools, while with the screen, it reaches a more professional setting, to help workers increase their productivity.
” We hope to be known, because from the moment people know that we exist, they can, for example in France, go to each ATOL store, test the glasses for free and without obligation to buy concludes Michael Kodochian.
