Refractify
Applies a myopic defocus effect to screens to simulate distant viewing, potentially slowing myopia progression.
Refractify is a software platform that applies a myopic defocus effect to computer screens, simulating the visual experience of looking at a distant object to potentially slow or prevent myopia progression. It targets developers, IT professionals, and general users concerned about eye health, particularly those who spend extended time on screens. The software is available as a free open-source browser extension and a paid desktop application for Windows, with the desktop version offering automatic monitor detection and multi-monitor support. It is positioned as a non-invasive, software-based alternative to myopia control contact lenses, though it is not yet medically approved.
