eSight 4™ Is Available for the Veterans
In the US, there are 130,000 veterans who are legally blind and one million who have impaired vision. Good news is that some low-vision veterans can benefit from Veterans Affairs that provides vision-improving eyewear, eSight 4™, that uses a camera to improve their vision.
This vision-enhancing device employs high-speed cameras to enlarge what they collect, making the world more clear for some people with limited vision. The technology is an FDA-registered Class 1 medical device.
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule now includes eSight 4™ devices, which should drastically reduce the time required for clearance. The time between the decision that a veteran will benefit from an eSight 4™ device and the time the device is supplied will be shortened thanks to new national contracts with eSight® Corporation.
