An Award-Winning Low Vision Assistive Technology
Are you or your loved one fighting some form of visual impairment? Tired of using conventional assistive technologies available in the market? Time to switch to IrisVision – a revolutionary assistive technology created by industry veterans and vision scientists.
Vision Enhancement Modes Ideal for Indoor & Outdoor Settings
Visual acuity is a measure of how well you see. A person’s normal visual acuity is 20/20. If a person’s visual acuity remains less than or equal to 20/40 or 20/60, despite using glasses or contact lenses, they fall in the visually impaired spectrum. IrisVision is an FDA registered Class-1 medical device that features various vision enhancement modes that counter all types of visual challenges.
Scene Mode
For distance, intermediate or near tasks this vivid, high definition view offers instant auto focus and an industry-leading 70° field of view with up to 14X magnification.
Scene with Bubble
Play cards, games, or enjoy crafts and hobbies using the Bubble View lense to zoom in on areas of interest while keeping the overall scene in context. Customize this lens on the fly by changing size, placement, and magnification of this “virtual telescope.”
Colored Reading
When reading text is difficult such as menus, package instructions, or extended reading of a glared surface, patients choose the color contrast that works best for their vision.
Bioptic Mode
Useful for distance viewing such as reading signs or finding items on a shelf. Magnify a specific area without losing the context of the entire scene. Adjustable level of magnification or move area of focus to top or bottom.
Reading Line Mode
Reading lengthy text, as in a book or magazine may be easier using our bar magnifier to comfortably view a segment of words. Patients no longer lose their place or skip lines.
IrisReader (Optical Character Recognition)
IrisVision reads to patients by scanning a page of text and reading aloud. Text is displayed in large, high contrast text while they listen.
RP Mode
For Glaucoma, Retinitis Pigmentosa, or other field restrictions, the 70 degree image virtually expands the field of view. Changeable on the fly for various viewing tasks, near to far.
Flashlight Feature
Use the flashlight feature to brighten up dark environments without optimal lighting. This feature is readily available in all software lenses.

Low Vision FAQs
What is Low Vision?
Low vision is used to describe severely poor eyesight that disables a person’s ability to see clearly despite the use of prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses. This can be caused by progressive eye diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and others.
People with low vision have varying degrees of vision loss according to their eye disease and unique eye condition. If diagnosed timely, the loss of vision can be slowed down, as opposed to the otherwise speedy deterioration of eyesight if left untreated.
For such individuals, low vision assistive technology is the best solution due to their ability to overcome visual limitations that prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses cannot.
Low Vision Conditions
There may be different degrees of vision loss for people with different eye conditions, based on which The World Health Organization has defined different classifications for low vision i.e.
- Mild vision loss or near-normal vision: 20/30 to 20/60
- Moderate visual impairment or low vision: 20/70 to 20/160
- Severe visual impairment or low vision: 20/200 or worse
- Profound visual impairment, or low vision: 20/500 to 20/1000
- Near-total visual impairment or low vision: Less than 20/1000
- Total visual impairment or blindness: No light perception
Low Vision Treatments
Low vision usually results due to critical damage to the eye such as in the case of optic nerve damage, or eye disease. It is important to understand that most low vision conditions can only be treated but not cured.
Having said that, there are different procedures and assistive devices to help manage life with low vision.
Mainly, the methods of treatment and management of low vision include:
- Eye surgery
- Medication
- Low vision assistive technology
Invasive eye surgeries and medication can sometimes be useful in restoring some amount of visual function, but the use of low vision aids and assistive devices alongside can be very helpful in the management of low vision.
Low Vision Assistive Devices:
1: Non-optical assistive devices
These devices are used as an optical magnification tool that provides an enlarged image of the object.
Most common types of non-optical devices such as handheld and stand magnifiers, loupes, specialized magnifying reading glasses, and small telescopes.
Other unique assistive devices include Braille readers and books that allow a person with low vision to read text with the sense of touch through the use of special characters.
Large-print books and playing cards make entertainment as accessible for a partially sighted person as it is for a well-sighted man.
2: Electronic assistive devices
Video magnifiers:
Electronic magnifiers scan the text of a page or a picture and are then converted into a magnified and easy-to-read font that is displayed on the screen.
Some video magnifiers also come with an OCR (optical character recognition) reader, that reads aloud the text after scanning which can prove to be very helpful in school or office settings. These magnifiers fulfill their purpose well, except that magnification is their sole utility.
Video magnifiers are also referred to as CCTV low vision aids and are available in different sizes and styles, depending upon the type of task you want to perform.
Braille e-reader, audiobooks and electronic books:
A Braille e-reader can translate any text into braille, which lets a person decipher whatever text they want to read. And if that comes across as tiring, audiobooks let you listen to the text instead.
Smartphones and tablets:
The customizable options in smartphones let you adjust text size according to your ease of seeing, and you can also use voice commands instead of reading text.
Low vision electronic glasses:
Low vision electronic glasses are wearable and slightly heftier than the average eyesight glasses. They have a high magnification capability to give you a clear view of your surroundings, and other features such as OCR readers.
How can low vision assistive devices help you?
Low vision assistive devices compensate for your reduced visual ability, and by doing so they help you continue your daily routine activities easily by overcoming any visual limitations caused by an eye injury or any eye condition.
Low vision aids and assistive devices can make tasks convenient for you in many ways, some of which are:
- Resume daily chores
- Protecting against health hazards
- Living independently
- Staying in touch with the world around you
- Ease of access to information
