‘eSight’ is a revolutionary electronic glasses that let people with vision loss actually see

eSight is the only patented, assistive-device of its kind anywhere in the world. eSight is wearable, handsfree, portable – and most importantly, eSight is a non-surgical device. eSight is registered with the United States FDA. eSight Corporation is inspected by Health Canada.

eSight’s wearable, hands-free headset houses a small, high-speed camera that captures everything the eSight user is looking at. The captured live video stream is instantly sent to a powerful computer that uses proprietary software  to process each pixel of video captured by the camera.

The enhanced video is sent back to the headset and displayed on two, powerful Organic-LED screens in front of the user’s eyes. Typically, these full color video images can be clearly seen by the eSight user with unprecedented visual clarity – in essence breaking through most underlying eye conditions that cause their visual impairment.

All of this happens in real-time, with no discernible lag time for the eSight user. This is a crucial capability that lets the eSight user instantly switch from near vision (reading a document) – to midrange vision (looking up to see who just stepped into the room) – to long range vision (looking out the window to see if it is raining).

eSight users can easily adjust color, contrast, brightness and magnification (up to 14X) settings, and even take and store pictures.

To date, hundreds of people with vision loss have regained their vision thanks to eSight.

They include visually impaired individuals:
– With many different eye conditions and injuries.
– Whose visual acuities have been dramatically improved (from a range of 20/200 to 20/1200 – to near 20/20).
– Whose ages range from 6 to 94 years.
– From many different walks of life.
– With many different lifestyles, including those with very active independent lives.
– Who now, thanks to eSight, can lead very active lives independently carrying out activities of daily living, and often return to work to earn a living.
– Individuals with vision loss simply need to try eSight to see if it works for them without any risk or cost.

Notwithstanding this, eSight recognizes that some organizations, clinicians or experts feel more comfortable if clinical trials are conducted.

eSight enables people with vision loss to actually see. What they do with their newly restored sight is up to them. This includes virtually all the activities of independent daily living, including:

eSight does so much more than restore sight. eSight restores a person’s independence, confidence, self esteem and freedom. eSight changes the person’s life.

eSight can work for people who have low vision, which includes those that are legally blind. This group represents the vast majority (86% to be exact) of the world’s 300 million people who are considered visually impaired, or blind.

Unfortunately, for the 14% of the world’s blind population who are completely or profoundly blind, eSight will not work.

eSight works for people suffering from many different eye conditions including:

On average, eSight restores sight for three out of every four people with low vision who try it out. This equates to a worldwide low vision population of approximately 200 million people who could have their vision restored with eSight.

eSight was founded by Conrad Lewis, a successful Canadian engineer who felt there was a dire need for a device such as eSight for his two visually impaired sisters and for millions of other people with vision loss all over the world.

eSight’s mission has motivated many experienced and respected angel and high-net-worth investors to invest over $30 million in order to make eSight a reality. This has allowed eSight to attract a highly talented and motivated team of board members, clinical advisors, engineers, outreach and support staff as well as supporters from all around the world.
