Sight-enhancing medical device, commonly referred to as electronic glasses, for the visually impaired.
About us
eSight is a pioneer in the low-vision assistive technology industry and creates low-vision smart glasses designed with a simple but profound promise: empower individuals with impaired vision to See New Possibilities. eSight provides the most advanced and versatile low-vision smart glasses available for those with visual impairments and is compatible with more than 20 eye conditions including Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Stargardt disease. Founded by electrical engineer, Conrad Lewis, who wanted to help his two legally blind sisters see, eSight has since grown to become the leading sight enhancement platform led by an executive team with the vision to do more. After seven years of research and development, the first eSight Eyewear prototype was released in 2013. Since then, the vision-enhancing electronic technology has changed the lives of thousands of people living with visual impairments and legal blindness by allowing them to retain their independence and achieve greater visual acuity at home, school, work, and play. Soon after the release of eSight 3, Time Magazine named eSight in its list of “The 25 Best Inventions in 2017” and Buzzfeed featured the device on its roster of “6 Inventions Changing British People’s Lives In 2017”. Following eSight 3, the team continued to develop its technology and, in 2020, launched its latest model — eSight 4. It was thoughtfully crafted to be wireless and hands-free allowing users to retain their mobility as well as be lightweight and streamlined for all-day comfort. The eSight 4 was later recognized as the “Best Wearable/Healthcare Hardware/Software of 2021” by the Tech Ascension Awards, which honors companies that possess the most innovative technology in their respective industry. With the help of eSight technology, more people living with visual impairments are achieving their dreams. Learn more at www.esighteyewear.com

This month is Diabetic Eye Disease Month, and we want to talk about Glaucoma to spread awareness. Since diabetes can double the chance of having glaucoma, one of the best ways to prevent that, is to manage the diabetes itself. It is important to manage your diabetes ABCs, which is AC1, blood pressure, and cholesterol. #DiabeticEyeDiseaseMonth #Glaucoma #eSight #VisionLoss

Symptoms of STGD typically begin in late childhood or early adulthood. It is difficult to predict when retinal damage will occur or how fast the condition will deteriorate, as these factors vary from person to person. https://lnkd.in/g4-f4vpz #eSight #VisuallyImpaired #Stargardt #VisualAcuity #EyeHealth
