eSight Glasses Let Blind Mother See Her Newborn For The First Time
A blind mother, Kathy Beitz was able to see her newborn son for the first time thanks to a pair of special glasses made by e Sight glasses.
The device captures an image and video and then present it in real time with enhancements for people with low vision. These enhancements make the eye perceive more than it would have otherwise been able to.
The 29-year old mother started losing her sight in grade school. She has Stargardt disease, a genetic condition which causes macular degeneration. This condition puts up a blind spot that obscure most of her vision.
She now uses the glasses to care for her child. A spokesman for eSight explained how these glasses work and the fact that they have been available in the market for about a year now. A pair costs around $15,000.
