eSight is a proven digital device for patients with central vision loss

eSight is a clinically validated, FDA- and EUDAMED-registered digital low vision Class 1 medical device designed to help your patients with significant central vision loss and legal blindness enhance their vision.  

Backed by 10 years of research and development, eSight uses a compact, high-speed, high-definition camera to capture the patient’s visual field, while proprietary software algorithms optimize and enhance the footage presented to the user.¹

Conditions

eSight technology provides unprecedented improvement in a wide range of visual performance measures for more than 20 different eye conditions associated with central vision loss. eSight can immediately improve central vision for people who have moderate-to-severe visual impairment resulting from a variety of conditions, including*:

  • Age-related macular degeneration
  • Stargardt disease
  • Myopic macular degeneration
  • Diabetic retinopathy
  • Cone & rod dystrophy
  • And many more

* eSight may not be for patients who have dementia, glaucoma, or other neurogenerative diseases.

Figure 1. Distance acuity equivalent of print size correctly read on the ETDRS chart at baseline without the device, at fitting with the device, and after 3 months of device use. Mean baseline acuity without device was 20/177 (mean logMAR, 0.95 [SD, 0.25]), which improved to 20/32 (mean, 0.20 [SD, 0.31]) with the device but stayed unchanged after 3 months of device use and training (mean, 0.19 [SD, 0.30]). *Statistically significant differences. ETDRS = Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study.

Figure 2. Reading acuity equivalent of print size read on the MNREAD chart at baseline without the device, at fitting with the device, and after 3 months of device use. Mean baseline reading acuity without device was 20/159 (mean logMAR, 0.90 [SD, 0.34]), which improved to 20/43 (mean, 0.33 [SD, 0.39]) with the device but stayed unchanged after 3 months of device use and training (mean, 0.24 [SD, 0.36]). *Statistically significant differences.

Clinically Validated Results (eQUEST, ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT02616900)

Independent studies of use of eSight by six renowned low vision institutions demonstrated:

  • A seven-line gain in distance acuity
  • 12 letter contrast improvement
  • 100% mobility retention
  • Significant increase in facial recognition

      We have been so happy working with eSight. The whole approach of the company is very much about taking good care of the patient. This starts with a well designed device that is easy for patients to use while doing their every day activities. Their patient support program is excellent - patients have enough training to use the device adeptly for their lifestyles. We have no reservations referring our patients as we know they will be well cared for.
