Eyeglass frames are no longer limited to holding lenses; they have evolved into intelligent platforms integrated with visual and health monitoring technologies. These frames allow tracking of head posture, recording of eye activity, and even monitoring of vital signs.<br /><br />The optical industry has undergone a significant transformation, moving from purely corrective functions to the incorporation of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensors, and wireless connectivity. Thus, medical frames have become an essential component of digital health ecosystems.<br />• Visual monitoring: Smart frames equipped with miniature cameras can track eye movements and provide accurate data on disorders such as strabismus or amblyopia.<br />• Medical applications: Frames embedded with biosensors can measure heart rate or body temperature, offering a comprehensive view of the patient’s health status.<br />• Role in rehabilitation: These frames can deliver interactive visual training programs for patients with binocular vision disorders.<br /><br />Smart medical eyeglass frames represent a promising future in merging optometry with digital health, making them a central tool in advancing personalized healthcare.<br />
