We envision a future where contact lens application is safer, more intuitive, and more consistent through purpose-built medical device innovation that improves patient confidence and supports successful long-term contact lens wear.
Our Development Philosophy
LensON™ follows a disciplined commercialization process that integrates engineering, customer discovery, regulatory planning, and intellectual property protection from the earliest stages of development.
Our development efforts are guided by:
Human-centered design
Engineering validation and design for manufacturability (DFM)
Customer discovery with eye care professionals
Regulatory planning under the U.S. FDA Class I framework
Long-term commercialization readiness
Advancing Through Customer Discovery
LensON is currently participating in the National Science Foundation (NSF) I-Corps™ Customer Discovery Program, conducting structured interviews with optometrists, ophthalmologists, contact lens professionals, and other stakeholders to better understand clinical workflows, patient challenges, and commercialization opportunities.
These conversations help ensure that our development decisions are informed by real-world needs and aligned with the professionals and patients we aim to serve.

Why LensON Matters
Millions of people rely on contact lenses every day, yet the application process continues to depend largely on traditional manual techniques. LensON is developing technology intended to improve contact lens handling while supporting greater consistency, confidence, and hygiene throughout the application experience.
Our goal is not simply to introduce a new device—but to develop a clinically informed solution that addresses meaningful challenges for both patients and eye care professionals.
