The business of near-eye displays, or Head Mounted Displays (HUDs) requires close attention to human vision capabilities and correction, with over half the world's population needing some level of vision correction and this need will only grow as the global population ages. Coming up with new and implementable methods and techniques to compensate for human vision issues is critical for the ultimate success of HUDs and AR glasses.

近眼显示器或头戴式显示器（HUD）的业务需要密切关注人类的视力能力和矫正，世界上一半以上的人口需要一定程度的视力矫正，这种需求只会随着全球人口的老龄化而增长。提出新的和可实施的方法和技术来补偿人类视觉问题，对于HUD和AR眼镜的最终成功至关重要。

Increased knowledge and oversight in vision correction will allow Vuzix to better serve its customers and offer vision correction solutions that still allow the benefits of AR glasses and HUDs in as seamless a way as possible, as most industry observers state that vision correction solutions must be found for AR glasses to succeed.

视力矫正方面知识的增加和监督将使Vuzix能够更好地为客户服务，并提供视力矫正解决方案，使AR眼镜和HUD尽可能无缝地发挥其优势，因为大多数行业观察人士指出，必须找到视力矫正解决方案，AR眼镜才能取得成功。

Numerous technology and healthcare firms maintain medical and scientific advisory boards to support various needs. For Vuzix, specific OAB activities may include, among other things, serving as a resource on technological and legal medical issues by filling any knowledge gaps in the organization, writing and reviewing educational reports and case studies, assisting in establishing research funding by forging relationships and scripting grant proposals, and identifying potential fundraising opportunities in the medical space..
