TECLens designs and manufactures medical vision-correction devices centered on a corneal crosslinking lens for myopia treatment and related conditions. The core product is a non-invasive therapy worn for about 30 minutes in a clinician’s waiting room, with the eye open or closed, delivering real-time ultrasound sensing and precise prescription tuning to reshape the cornea. The lens operates in a high-oxygen environment and uses scleral positioning to maintain stability during treatment. It aims to address presbyopia, slow progression of myopia in children, and corrections for keratoconus and other refractive errors, potentially reducing long-term reliance on traditional corrective lenses. The company is based in St. James, New York.
