Our founder, Dr. Fayiz Mahgoub had the pleasure of being a guest on the latest episode of the Clearly KC Podcast which is published by the National Keratoconus Foundation and hosted by Dr. Melissa Barnett.
He discussed how much of an obstacle contact lens insertion and removal can be for patients and how easy it can become once they are given the right tools and support. He also shared some of the wonderful success stories from patients who currently use our S5 Lens Insertion System™.

We are honored to share that Amazon.com has selected Augmented Vision Labs to join the Amazon Black Business Accelerator. This accelerator program is part of a $150 million commitment by Amazon to support Black-owned businesses.

Since 2020, we've partnered with Amazon to make our S5 Lens Insertion System available to patients who are in desperate need of help with inserting their contact lenses. We are proud to say that together, we've been able to help thousands of patients, but we are just getting started.

Can you imagine spending the first hour of your day feeling like you're poking yourself in the eye over and over again? Sadly, this is the reality for millions of contact lens wearers who spend hundreds of hours each year struggling to insert their lenses. Not only is this a frustrating experience that places a large burden on the mental health of patients, but it also puts them at a higher risk of injuring their eyes and developing permanent damage to their eyelids.

We are extremely passionate about helping these patients because we have seen their suffering firsthand, and we have witnessed the incredible turnarounds they make when given the right tools and support. This was the motivation to start Augmented Vision Labs™.

After years of continuous development, we can confidently say that we have developed the most advanced contact lens insertion devices in the world. What we more proud of, however, is the fact that every patient who uses our devices has access to unlimited one-on-one training with a member of our team which is available 7 days a week. Today, patients don’t have to be on their own once they take their lenses home.

We don’t say this to brag, but rather to say that these patients deserve the very best that the world has to offer. The patients we have met on this journey have been the kindest and the most wonderful people. Making a difference in their lives has been a true privilege. It is the reason that we wake up excited every day.

We are thrilled to have Amazon recognize the work we are doing and we are looking forward to having their support on our journey to end the suffering of millions of contact lens wearers. We can't wait to share more about this exciting collaboration soon!

We are excited to share the results of a cross sectional study conducted at Southern College of Optometry involving our S5 Mini Lens Insertion System™. The study compared the efficacy, perceived ease of use, perceived comfort and perceived safety of the S5 Mini™ to the DMV® Vented Scleral Cup™ which is widely regarded as the gold standard assistive device for scleral lens insertion.

Study highlights include:

- 40 participants who had no prior scleral lens experience/wear were included in the study.
- The S5 Mini™ required 2.8 fewer insertion attempts compared to the DMV® Vented Scleral Cup™ (P < 0.0001).
- The time needed to successfully insert a lens with the DMV® Vented Scleral Cup™ was 50% longer than the time needed with the S5 Mini™.
- Patients felt that the S5 Mini™ is safer, easier to use, more comfortable and had an easier learning curve compared to the DMV® Vented Scleral Cup™.

These results were published during the 2021 American Academy of Optometry meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Meredith Fry, OD '23, Dr. Yueren Wang, OD, Dr. Laurel Kelley, OD, FAAO, Dr. Paul Harris, OD, FCOVD, FACBO, FAAO, FNAP, Dr. Daniel Fuller, OD, FAAO Dipl., FSLS and Southern College of Optometry for making this study possible.

Meet the S5 Inserter™, the world's first adjustable height lens inserter. We designed the S5 Inserter™ to offer scleral and hybrid lens wearers the convenience of inserting their lenses while standing. The device allows the user to have 2 free hands to hold their eyelids open which is especially helpful in countering our natural blink reflex. The built-in light makes it easy for the user to position their eye in the center of the lens which helps reduce air bubbles. 📷 courtesy of Dr. Avani Dave, OD, FAAO and Dr. Kayla Whelan, OD.
