March 14, 2023 — Percept Corporation has released the first product from its upgradeable technology platform, MiWear, a device for color wavelength mitigation based on the company’s patented Augmented Perception technology.  
 
According to Percept, the science behind narrow green-band wavelength (nbGL)—pioneered by Harvard migraine and neurology researcher Rami Burstein, Ph.D.—has been shown to promote calming, relaxation, and other therapeutic benefits. MiWear works by regulating the full-color spectrum present in naturally occurring light to allow only nbGL while simultaneously providing a lens transmissivity high enough to enable the wearer to read fine print and operate digital devices, shares the company.
 
“MiWear represents the first in a family of products that can expand eyewear into the health and wellness space,” says Jim McGrann, president and chief operating officer of Percept.
 
“We have patients who suffer from chronic headaches, anxiety, have trouble sleeping, or maybe just feel the effects of long hours in front of a computer. Now they sit in our office and tell us about the change; it is life-altering for them,” says Dorothy Hitchmoth, O.D., a Percept optometrist advisor.
 
MiWear is currently only available through Percept’s select partnership of ECPs.
