Ruishi Technology was founded in 2017, it is a vision health management service provider for children and adolescents.

According to Ruishi Technology, the core product of the company, "Ruishi Far Image Light Screen," adopts three core technologies: analog panoramic high-definition imaging, digital spectral structure, and digital defocusing and blurry stimulation, integrating AR free form surface patent technology to achieve digitalization and personalization of defocusing. Children can use this device to simulate the effect of looking at the blackboard from a distance in the classroom while using it in the desk space. The close learning scene can be transformed into a long distance, avoiding short-term myopia caused by prolonged close eye contact.

The market size of myopia prevention and control may reach CNY 210 billion in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 13.7%.
