The document discusses eSight glasses, which are wearable electronic glasses that help legally blind individuals see. The eSight system uses a camera, video processing software, and OLED screens to project enhanced images to the brain. Some key advantages are magnification from 1.5x to 14x, auto-focusing, freeze frame capabilities, and various color modes and contrast/brightness settings. However, eSight glasses are expensive and cannot fully restore vision. Overall, eSight aims to provide independent vision to low-vision users through hands-free, all-day technology.

3. WHAT IS LEGAL BLINDNESS??
 Visual acuity of 20/200 or
worse.
 the peripheral field is contracted
to an extent that the widest
diameter of the visual field
subtends an angular distance less
than 20 degrees in the better eye.

4. LEGAL BLINDNESS CAUSED BY EACH ARE AS
FOLLOWS:
•Macular degeneration (16.8%)
•Glaucoma (11.5%)
•Diabetic retinopathy (10.1%)
•Cataract (9.8%)
•Optic nerve atrophy (4.3%)
•All other/unknown (47.5%)

5. WORLDWIDE PREVALENCE OF VISION
IMPAIRMENT
 There are an estimated 180 million persons
worldwide who are visually impaired.
 Of these, between 40 and 45 million persons are
blind.
 estimated that at least 7 million people in world
become blind each year, with over 70% having
vision restored with treatment.
 Among persons who are legally blind worldwide:
 58% are age 60+
 34% are age 45-59
 8% are age 15-44
 4% are age 14 or under

6. SURVEYS
 A person is “functionally blind," as defined by the World
Health Organization,.Blindness defined for international
health purposes is when an individual cannot count
fingers at 10 feet.

7. E-SIGHT TECHNOLOGY
 eSight enhance the quality of an image reaching the eye,
delivering more data and triggering an increased reaction
from the cells in the eye.
 With more high quality data being passed from the eye to
the brain, eSight helps people see more of the world.

8. E-SIGHT GLASSES
eSight are wearable electronic glasses that allow the
legally blind to actually see.
eSight can autofocus on short, medium and long-
range objects.
eSight's many unique features—such as 14-times
zoom, image contrast enhancement, reverse color
display
eSight does not work for people who are totally or
profoundly blind.

9.  Headset: The Headset, worn mounted on carrier frames just
above or in front of the eyes, houses a high-definition
camera, OLED screens.
 Processing Unit: eSight users’ carry a small, light-weight
processing unit that adjusts every pixel of the video in
real-time. The Processing Unit also houses the battery
which powers eSight.
COMPONENTS

10.  Carrier: Finally, to support complete and unimpeded
mobility, eSight offers multiple carrying options that allow
eSight to be used hands-free.
 Carrier Frames: The Frames support the weight of the
eSight Headset and distribute it around the wearer’s head to
ensure comfort.

11. HOW DOES ESIGHT WORK?
 eSight uses a sophisticated high-speed camera,video
processing software, cpu and the highest quality video
OLED screens to project a real-time image.
 awakens the remaining functional neurons.
 The eyewear then enhances the images which causes
the remaining receptors to send an improved signal to
the brain.
 The controller even allows the user to freeze a frame,
for reading or to save the picture onto an integrated
micro disk.

12. CAN ESIGHT BE WORN BY THE LEGALLY BLIND WHILE
THEY ARE MOBILE?
 eSight is also totally mobile, which means users
can experience all kinds of activities.
 Going for walks
 Participating in sports
 Computers and other work-related tools
 Reading signs and other navigational markers
 Watching outdoor events
 Use of public transportation, including air travel

13. DOES ESIGHT HAVE ANY COMPETITORS?
 No other vision aid offers the same gift-of-sight
as eSight.
 white canes, magnifying glasses, CCTVs and
electronic text-to-speech reading aids. None of
these devices deliver the actual sight eSight does
 Eye dogs - cost of approximately twice that of
eSight
 surgical methods, estimated to cost approximately
$150,000 per operation.

14. WHAT FEATURES WILL BE ADDED TO ESIGHT IN
THE FUTURE?
 eSight will become smaller
 more feature-rich, and
 less expensive as the years go by.
 eSight currently does not charge for software upgrades.
 New features are currently offered free of charge to
existing eSight users

15. ADVANTAGES
 Magnification from 1.5x to 14x
 Easy to handle
 Auto-focus enables the wearer to quickly change their view
 Separate contrast and brightness features accommodate different
lighting
 Freeze capability allows the wearer to capture a still shot of an image
 Six custom color modes help the wearer make reading easier
 Software is easily updated via computer to keep eSight current
 Customized with the wearers own prescription lenses
 Unique tilt feature enables the wearer to alternate between walking and
stationary activities like reading or watching TV

16. DISDAVANTAGES
 Available in single size
 Expensive
 battery backup
 eSight cannot fully restore sight

17. CONCLUSION
 Unlike other low-vision aids, eSight is designed to
enable the freedom, self-efficacy, and confidence only
possible by enabling seamless vision, regardless of
circumstance and setting. eSight is worn hands-free and,
for many people, all day, allowing people with low-
vision to accomplish the tasks they choose, without
barriers of access.
