What are eSight Glasses?
eSight glasses are an all-in-one, wearable electronic device that uses a high-definition camera, smart algorithms, and high-resolution screens to enhance vision for people with central vision loss, such as from macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy.
The device captures what is in front of the user, processes the image to maximize visual information, and displays it on screens inside the glasses, allowing the user to see and read with greater clarity, achieve enhanced vision, and participate in daily activities independently.
A typical eSight user has visual acuity from 20/60 to 20/800, some as high as 20/1400, caused by more than 20 different eye conditions including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and Stargardt’s disease.
Wearing eSight, many achieve enhanced visual acuity making eSight an exceptional assistive technology for eye care professionals to provide to their low vision patients
How eSight Glasses Work
- Camera & Processing:
A cutting-edge camera captures the visual information.
- Software & Displays:
Smart algorithms process this information to create a real-time image, which is then displayed on high-resolution screens inside the eyewear.
- Enhanced Vision: The device helps stimulate and provide increased visual input to the brain from the user’s remaining photoreceptor function, leading to enhanced vision and visual acuity.
Key Features of eSight Glasses
1. Magnification:
Offers up to 24x magnification to see both near and far objects more clearly, such as faces, concert details, or price tags.
2. Mobility:
Features a patented bioptic tilt that allows the user to rotate the eyewear upward to retain their natural peripheral vision for safe walking and full mobility.
3. Hands-Free Operation:
The wireless, hands-free design allows users to remain active and engaged with their surroundings.
4. Comfortable Design:
A lightweight design and a halo band with washable padding provide weight distribution and comfort for long-term wear.
5. Customization:
Users can switch between high-contrast color modes for reading and can have text read aloud via an OCR (optical character recognition) mode.
6. Connectivity:
The device includes an eSight app for enhanced functionality and is compatible with over 20 eye conditions
