An Exclusive Evaluation Program For Veterans With Low Vision

eSight TeleHealth for Veterans is a remote evaluation program that will allow the referred patients to experience the eSight wearable device.

eSight’s partnership with Marathon Medical Corporation, a SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business) certified distributor to veteran medical facilities across the United States, offers eSight 4 assistive eyewear medical devices to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) national healthcare system.

Marathon’s qualification within the Service-Disabled Veteran-owned Small Business (SDVOSB) Certification program allows the VA’s procurement arm to give higher priority to its available products.

This partnership streamlines the purchasing and contract process and provides enhanced product choices for VA healthcare professionals.

How Does eSight TeleHealth Work?

After a referral from the VA, referred Veterans will be connected to an eSight Specialist who will discuss how the device may help them and assess their candidacy.

If they are a good candidate, they can try eSight free of charge, in the comfort of their own home. Next steps include:

  • Booking them an appointment for a TeleHealth evaluation session in their home with an eSight Specialist.
  • Shipping an eSight 4 device directly to patients for their TeleHealth session.
  • After personalized coaching and training, patients will have three days to test out this device and experience the positive impacts and improvements in quality of life it provides.
  • At the end of the trial, eSight will contact your patients for their feedback and experience.
