| 3D printing This has a significant impact on the way lenses are manufactured, and companies such as Luxexcel make it easier to build a personalized design that is being exploited by emerging VR / AR technology groups just as in the field of ophthalmology and other ophthalmic treatments. The latest breakthrough shows a tremendous improvement in the quality of life of people with photosensitive epilepsy. LoganWilliams at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand has been used 3D printing technology To create special polarized lenses, you can prevent the worst effects of epilepsy.  Photosensitive epilepsy exposure to flash may cause seizures.5 LoganWilliams, a student at the UC Department of Applied Psychology, is aware of this situation because one of his friends has photosensitive epilepsy and he is frustrated at the lack of practical day-to-day treatment This inspired him to study pioneering 3D printing glasses PolarOptics. Inspired by a good friend with photosensitive epilepsy, I developed PolarOptics. The only cure is to give the patient some form of protection against health, which is medicine, but to a degree Limit diets, lifestyle and other adverse side effects, Williams said. 'PolarOptics alleviates environmental threats so that patients do not have to worry about attacks in their daily lives and it is possible to really change the photogenic epilepsy of people around the world and to help anyone with headaches and migraines.' The lens works by refracting the light that enters the wearer's field of vision. Refraction reduces the intensity of the light and weakens the light wave, which means it has a much weaker effect on the entire nervous system, which can take a few seconds for the wearer Close your eyes or stay away from threatening light sources, which may be as intense as flashlights or usually just a row of trees or buildings that cause blinking light patterns as they move past them. Williams is now seeking to commercialize his project while still maintaining the affordable lens for epilepsy patients and is currently working on prototypes with European manufacturers, which is not the first time his invention has been commercialized. Previously, he had been successful with Biome, a biodegradable product company. This initial project won first place and national merit awards at the Eureka Science and Innovation Competition and shortlisted the New Zealand Best Student Award 2017. Williams also won the First Place and People's Choice Awards through the UC Start-Up Center Summer Start-up Program, And developing his company with UCInnovators Summer Entrepreneurship Scholarship at the UC Venture Center.He now gets another Eureka grant through the Ministry of Health for the PolarOptics project. According to Michelle Panzer, manager of UC Incubation Center, 'The true potential of Logan is that they solve very real problems and the UCE Summer Entrepreneurship Program offers students an opportunity to focus their full attention on a business or social venture With a $ 5,000 scholarship, this 10-week course structure is designed to equip students with the skills necessary to start and grow their business.
