The Future of Sight: SolidddVision Smart Glasses at CES 2025
For years, the Las Vegas Convention Center has been buzzing with the promise of AR/VR/XR smart glasses. Yet, despite efforts by tech giants like Apple and Google, these innovations have yet to become mainstream, especially in terms of accessibility. Enter Soliddd, a Brooklyn-based startup that is paving the way towards making smart glasses more inclusive and accessible.
This week at CES 2025, Soliddd is turning heads with its prototype SolidddVision glasses. Specifically designed for individuals with macular degeneration—a condition affecting roughly 13% of Americans aged 40 and above, according to the CDC—these glasses are a beacon of hope for improved vision.
“The smartglasses use Soliddd’s unique and proprietary lens arrays, resembling a fly’s eye, to deliver multiple images to undamaged retinal areas. This enables the brain to naturally create a 3D image with clear vision akin to normal sight,” explained a company spokesperson.

Currently in beta, the prototype differs significantly from the sleek renders provided by Soliddd. However, the final design aims to resemble standard eyeglasses in both look and feel. While there is still extensive testing and development ahead, Soliddd is optimistic about launching these groundbreaking glasses by 2025.
Notably, while conducting clinical trials, Soliddd expects their product won’t need FDA approval before release. This positions them uniquely within the market, potentially accelerating their path to consumers eager for enhanced vision solutions.
