Diverse Range of Viewing Modes in One Solution
44 million Americans over the age of 40 are near or farsighted as reported by The New York State Department of Health. Most low vision devices are designed to be task-specific, however IrisVision features software lenses that are designed for close-up visual tasks and distance viewing.
Scene Mode

Low Vision FAQs
What is Low Vision?
Low vision is the loss of eyesight which is not correctable with prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses, and this loss of vision is typically due to eye diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy etc.
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
Most Common Types of Low Vision Problems
Low vision can interrupt the visual capabilities of anyone who has had an eye injury or an eye disease, but people aged over 45 become potentially vulnerable to develop low vision due to eye conditions like age-related macular degeneration etc.
44 million Americans over the age of 40 are near or farsighted as reported by The New York State Department of Health and whereas Only half of the 93 million US adults at high risk for vision loss visited an eye doctor in the past 12 months reported in The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2020.
Low vision can appear as various form of visual difficulty, some of them include:
- Central Vision Loss
Central vision loss appears as a loss of sight in the center of your visual field. It may begin as blurred spots which progressively turn into dark or blind spots. - Tunnel vision
Tunnel vision is caused by peripheral vision loss in which only the center of your visual field is clearly seen, as if looking through a narrow tunnel. - Night Blindness
It characterizes a poor and unclear vision in dimly lit environments or at night. - Blurred vision
Everything that you see near or far, may look out-of-focus. - Hazy Vision
The image that you see appears to be covered with a haze.
What are Low Vision Glasses used for?
If your vision impairment is beyond the point of correction with the use of conventional prescription glasses or lenses, your doctor would likely suggest you to use ‘Low Vision Glasses’ which are a type of visual aid that provide magnification properties to overcome your low vision.
The magnification power, field and weight of eyeglasses varies from one user to the other. Most low vision glasses involve complex optics that are designed as per your unique low vision requirements and routine tasks that you want to do using them. For instance, driving and needlework are tasks that have different magnification needs, and would require you to get separate low vision glasses for each such as low vision magnifying reading glasses, low vision glasses for distance viewing, low vision glasses for driving etc. Therefore, a detailed low vision screening is typically done to develop a customized design for you.
What are the types of low vision glasses?
Generally, the main types of low vision glasses include:
- Microscopic eyeglasses
For performing tasks that require attention to details e.g. reading, needlework etc. - Telescopic eyeglasses
For visual clarity in activities such as driving and walking. - Prismatic eyeglasses
For well-coordinated vision of both eyes. - Electronic low vision glasses
These are typically battery powered such as CCTV low vision aids, which combine different features which are used to assist in a variety of activities.
Is IrisVision Different From Other Low Vision Glasses?
Yes. IrisVision outshines the conventional average low vision eyeglasses in quality and functions.
But, how?
The IrisVision headset, powered by Samsung smartphone, is a holistic solution to a number of low vision problems. It replaces the need for multiple low vision aids as its features are customizable according to your changing requirement as you switch between different tasks. For instance, explore the following features of IrisVision that correspond to various low vision difficulties:
- Colored Reading Mode
For reading in dimly lit surroundings, high contrast options are available to ease the process, allowing you to choose the ideal color contrast that works best for you, qualifying IrisVision as the best low vision reading glasses. - Scene Mode
This mode counters your tunnel vision as it provides industry leading, 70 degree wide field-of-view, with auto-focus magnification that is ideal for seeing both near and far far objects. - Bubble View Mode
Acting as a virtual telescope, you can use the bubble view mode to zoom in on the area of interest while keeping the overall scene in context. - IrisReader
A feature which is not available in conventional eyeglasses, is the OCR reader of IrisVision which scans text and reads out loud for you.
IrisVision can take on the following functions:
1: Low Vision Glasses for Legal Blindness
IrisVision is a corrective solution for legal blindness as it has magnification properties as high as ×14. These low vision glasses for the blind empowers them to continue daily life activities with ease and convenience.
2: Low Vision Glasses for Retinitis Pigmentosa and Glaucoma
IrisVision low vision headset has a special feature that compensates for the loss of peripheral vision in Retinitis Pigmentosa and glaucoma. It shrinks your field of view to a smaller area, and lets you move the camera across your visual field allowing you to see better despite your eye condition.
The effects of eye conditions listed above can be mitigated through the use of specialized software lenses such as Bioptic mode that allows you to focus on the specific area without losing the entire field of view serving as the ideal bioptic glasses for low vision.
3: Low Vision Glasses for Macular Degeneration
People suffering from age related macular degeneration lose their central vision. However, IrisVision lets you see the entire scene including the view right in the center of your visual field, by capturing and shrinking the image.
Irisvision is a low vision solution for a number of eye conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa and others. To know more about our product, and how it can help your low vision condition, head over to product details.
