Smart Glasses for Central Vision Loss
Commonly caused by age-related macular degeneration, Stargardt disease, and diabetic retinopathy.
If you have central vision loss due to retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Stargardt disease, diabetic retinopathy or other low vision diseases, you know how difficult it is to perform daily tasks such as reading a menu, watching a sports game, making dinner, etc. Could specialty glasses make a difference in your life? The answer might be yes.
We are excited to announce that we now offer Eyedaptic glasses to optimize your field of vision. The Eyedaptic EYE5 with EyeSwitch™ glasses are equipped with proprietary software that instantly enhances vision. It uses visual assistive augmented reality (AR) technology to simulate natural vision and optimize peripheral vision. Using a small embedded camera, it captures your surroundings and adapts the pixels so you see a clearer image. It’s truly amazing technology that can greatly improve quality of life for those with AMD and low vision.
To qualify for Eyedaptic glasses, your visual acuity in your better eye should be between 20/70 and 20/400.
