Jasper Ridge Inc. Information

Jasper Ridge Inc. provides science-based tools to measure and prescribe the best tint and light to optimize vision performance. Its LuxIQ™ System is the first-of-a-kind device to provide clinicians, researchers, and educators with a standard tool to prescribe task light for near acuity. The new LuxIQ/2™ System adds the capability to prescribe optimum lens tints and sunglasses. Management Dr. Peter Borden and Michele Klein began Jasper Ridge in 2011 to establish a scientific basis for recommending light and color to improve vision. They have pioneered technologies, developed products, published papers, and presented CE courses on prescribing light and tints for vision. Dr. Borden, Ph.D. Applied Physics (Stanford) and B.S. Physics and EE (MIT), has authored >80 papers and >70 patents. Ms. Klein, MBA (Stanford) and B.S. (University of Illinois) co-founded four technology startups with Dr. Borden and led two optical inspection companies from inception to acquisition. Since founding Jasper Ridge the team has developed LED-based lighting exam and rehab products for eye care professionals. They pioneered VisionEdge™ lighting to improve visual performance of those with macular degeneration and other chronic conditions. Positive clinical studies and feedback led to development of the proprietary LuxIQ™ Light Exam System, LuxIQ/2™ Tint and Light Exam System and LightChooser™ web app sold to practitioners today.
