Hi my name is Scott Andrews, 

 I am the founder and president of X-Waves™. After finding out that a family member had been diagnosed with a rare genetic disease, which resulted in periodically experiencing double vision, I was shocked to find out how few options there were for relief besides traditional eye-patches. I also knew that my wife and co-founder Leslie also wears an eye patch to deal with light sensitivity due to a damaged optic nerve.

    With a background in laser optics, 3d engineering, designing and manufacturing I knew I could design a product that would be more functional and appealing then an eye patch.

    Having more than 20 years of experience with lasers and optics, I knew that by incorporating cross polarization into eye-wear I could create a more approachable eye day solution for my relative, Wife and hopefully others. 

   I created an all metal prototype with only 2 lenses and no eye caps, this would be version 1.0 and feedback was extremely positive. I knew that I needed to keep developing the product and find a way to make them accessible to a greater number of people. This is when I started to experiment with different methods of production including 3d printing. See versions 2.0 and 3.0.

   X-Waves are now on their 3rd rendition and are at a stage where I am excited to start expanding the team and getting X-Waves into the hands of as many people as possible. X-Waves are currently patent pending and are awaiting both clinical trials and receiving feedback from licensed eye care professionals, patents and other interested parties.
