Akeso has been honored with the prestigious 2025 Beijing Maker Award, recognizing its pioneering contributions to precision optics and personalized vision care. The award was presented at the annual competition organized by the Shijingshan District Science and Technology Commission, an influential platform celebrating innovation and industry impact across sectors.

Akeso’s winning submission, the MetaRx™ “Pupil Strategy” AI Lithography Personalized Myopia Management Solution, represents the world’s first triple-effect myopia management lens system. Combining nano-scale lithography, composite optical design, and high-refractive-index materials, the solution offers a new standard in adolescent myopia control, personalized customization, and all-day visual comfort.

A Technological Leap in Lens Innovation

Akeso’s MetaRx™ technology enables nanometer-level microstructure engraving directly onto lens surfaces—surpassing the limitations of traditional mold-based manufacturing. This breakthrough supports:

• Non-periodic array patterns and irregular prism surfaces
  
• Defocus fill rates over 90%, improving myopia control efficacy
  
• Precision tuning of optical zones for individual eye conditions
  

Key Advantages of MetaRx™ Lithography Lenses

• Ultra-Precision Lithography: Nano-level accuracy delivers consistently high imaging quality.
• Mold-Free Manufacturing: A cost-efficient, energy-saving process that is also environmentally friendly.
• High Refractive Materials: Enables lighter, thinner lenses with enhanced durability.
• Personalized Lens Mapping: Customizable optical zones, defocus strength, and lens layout design tailored to individual needs.
• Broad Applicability: Suitable for complex prescriptions, including astigmatism and high myopia.

Precision Personalization: “One Pupil, One Strategy”

The MetaRx™ solution enables true customization through:

• Dynamic adjustment of central optical zones (based on pupil size)
• Configurable defocus magnitudes for different prescriptions
• Integration of contrast sensitivity theory, multi-point defocus, and annular cylindrical lens modeling

Together, these innovations create a personalized optical strategy tailored to each user’s anatomy, behavior, and stage of myopia progression, resulting in improved compliance, visual clarity, and comfort.

Recognition of Industry Leadership

Winning the Beijing Maker Award underscores Akeso’s emergence as a global leader in vision-focused lithographic technology. It highlights the company’s R&D leadership in pushing the boundaries of:

• Customized optical engineering
• Myopia control science
• Sustainable, high-precision manufacturing

Akeso continues to set new benchmarks in the field of ophthalmic and optometric technology, strengthening China’s position in global smart manufacturing.
