Hello, Is anyone familiar with the eSight glasses? I have a student with Stargardt macular dystrophy whose parents are interested in the device. My understanding is it runs about $10,000. Any input would be greatly appreciated. You can also respond just to me at Kimberly.lovett@eu.dodea.edu. Thank you! Kim

Good morning Kimberley, I would suggest you look at the website of the Chicago lighthouse for the blind. They have reviewed that product and all the other video Eyewear devices. Just like other technology categories, one device works better for some people than others. It is so important for persons with low vision to look at different products so they make the most informed choice. Patrick J.
