In life, vision is everything and it\u2019s only when we start to notice reductions in our vision that we realize just how important it can be. That\u2019s why the introduction of a host of exciting new visual aids for Oxfordshire residents are so exciting. The people of Oxfordshire are being asked to try out new smart glasses made by a company based in Oxford called OXSIGHT.<\/p>\n
The glasses are developed by a team of scientific experts and clinical experts who have worked on visual aids in the past. The are expected to provide a meaningful improvement to those with central vision loss and can also help people to recognize faces, deal with tasks close at hand, and enjoy day-to-day tasks such as reading. These glasses will provide those who wear them with an enhanced visual experience relative to what they can enjoy without aids.<\/p>\n
The aim is to help those with sight loss to start seeing a small amount once again. This works by providing a projected, magnified live stream from a small central-mounted camera that are on the screens in front of the eye. The latest model, the OXSIGHT Onyx, is expected to help those with central and general field vision loss greatly.<\/p>\n
The company, though, needs people to help test them out in the field \u2013 and they are actively looking for help and support in making that so. Testing sessions will be taking place throughout August, with tests on both the 25th<\/sup> and 26th<\/sup>, providing those with macular conditions a chance to try out the treatment for free.<\/p>\n The company has found that 100% of users so far have found facial recognition to be easier, while 75% said they could read better than without the glasses. With Oxford one of the cities in the UK with the highest risk of avoidable sight loss, OXSIGHT got into action to come up with a solution to what is a growing local and nationwide problem.<\/p>\n The CEO of OXSIGHT, Dr. Rakesh Roshan, said: \u201cWe believe that 75-percent of people with central vision loss will benefit from these cutting-edge smart glasses, especially due to the further isolation caused by Covid-19. The feedback we\u2019ve received is that Onyx is life-changing because it gives people back their independence. To people with degenerative eye disease, that is invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n As it stands, then, these could be the next step forward in creating visual aids that can actively improve the lives of so many people. It\u2019s a hard thing to get right, but for centuries we have wrestled with visual aids that can minimize the impact and risk of blindness. With smart technology providing us with so many opportunities, this might be the most innovative addition to the industry in some time.<\/p>\n Citation<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.oxfordmail.co.uk\/news\/18653494.oxsight-launch-new-smart-glasses-oxfordshire-residents-test\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In life, vision is everything and it\u2019s only when we start to notice reductions in our vision that we realize just how important it can be.
