Bo Svarrer Hansen, CEO of ABH Optics, said: “This funding marks a significant milestone for ABH Optics. We are thrilled to have the support of HTGF as we strive to bring our innovative lenses to the market. Our technology not only enhances the comfort and aesthetics for those with high prescriptions but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability.”

Olaf Joeressen, Senior Investment Manager at HTGF, added: “We are excited to support ABH Optics in their journey to disrupt the eyeglass lenses market with meta-optics. Their innovative approach to lens manufacturing has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with high dioptre prescriptions, and we see a bright future for their technology in the market.”

Thanks to the company's patented technology, lenses may be easily customized to correct structural flaws as well as optical power. The end outcome is a line of extremely light, thin, and eco-friendly lenses that use less plastic. ABH Optics caters to the 13% of individuals who wear glasses and have prescriptions more than +/- 4 dioptres; they stand to gain a lot from the new lens technology.
