The investors are Qiming Venture Partners and Ruijian Capital. “With modern science and technology drastically changing human behaviors, excessive use of the human eyes has accelerated the aging of eyes and developing other eye disease among young people,” said Dr. Liao Xiugao, founder of Wuxi Vision Pro. “These factors promote the need of rapid development of ophthalmic medical products. My company commits to researching and developing high-quality ophthalmic products and create a leading brand to meet the growing demand.”
