It is reported that Luxexcel, a company headquartered in the Netherlands with a research and development center designed in Belgium, specializes in 3D printing prescription lenses and lens technology solutions.

In simple terms, Luxexcel focuses on providing vision correction solutions for AR glasses lenses by applying special micro-droplets onto the lenses. This ensures the lenses remain smooth while incorporating specific corrective needs such as myopia and hyperopia.
