eSight makes an assistive wearable device for people with central vision loss and legal blindness. Its electronic glasses combine a camera, smart algorithms and zoom, contrast and colour filters to help users see faces, read and watch television. The device is aimed at people with more than 20 eye conditions, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and Stargardt disease. Users are assigned a coach with personal experience of vision impairment to support setup and daily use. Sales run through authorised distributors and a home trial programme, and the product is available in the United States and Canada. Clinicians can refer patients through a clinical partner programme. In November 2023 Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX) acquired eSight, which continues to develop the device.
