eSight Go for Low Vision Aids
(eSight Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the eSight Go, a wearable device designed to assist people with vision impairments in improving daily activities. Participants will use the device at home and in everyday settings for four weeks to determine if it enhances their vision. The trial seeks individuals with stable vision issues, specifically those who struggle to see clearly even with prescription glasses. Participants should have a functional field of vision and benefit from magnification, and they should not have undergone recent eye surgeries or treatments.
As an unphased trial, this study provides participants the opportunity to contribute to innovative research and potentially improve their quality of life with enhanced vision.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, ongoing anti-VEGF treatments are allowed if you are in a specific management plan and your condition is stable.
What prior data suggests that the eSight Go device is safe for use in daily activities?
Research has shown that the eSight Go device is generally safe for users. eSight Go is a wearable device designed to assist people with vision problems. Studies have examined its effectiveness in improving vision, with safety as a key focus.
Past evaluations demonstrated that the device is safe for home use. Individuals as young as 13 years old can use it safely if they follow the instructions, though younger users might need supervision. The device has no known serious negative side effects and is intended for use in everyday settings like home, work, and stores.
In summary, eSight Go is well-tolerated by users and has no history of causing harm. Always follow the safety guidelines provided with the device.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
The eSight Go is unique because it offers a wearable electronic solution for individuals with low vision, allowing them to utilize the device comfortably in familiar environments like home, work, or stores. Unlike traditional low vision aids such as magnifying glasses or screen readers, which can be cumbersome or limited in scope, eSight Go provides a hands-free, immersive experience that enhances visual information in real-time. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it empowers users to maintain independence and improve their quality of life by seamlessly integrating enhanced vision into daily activities.
What evidence suggests that the eSight Go device is effective for vision impairments?
Research has shown that eSight Go, a wearable device, greatly improves vision for people with central vision loss. One study demonstrated that users' ability to see things up close improved from 20/159 to 20/43, allowing for much clearer vision. Another study found that eSight Eyewear had impressive benefits on various aspects of vision. The FDA has registered this device, recognizing its effectiveness in helping people with low vision see better. Overall, evidence supports that eSight Go can significantly enhance daily life for those with vision impairments. Participants in this trial will use the eSight Go device at home for four weeks in environments where they feel comfortable, such as home, work, or stores.26789
