eSight Go Features
- Advanced Vision Enhancement: eSight Go incorporates cutting-edge technology that enhances your natural vision and provides crisp, clear images in real-time.
- Comfortable Wearable Design: Similar to a pair of sunglasses, eSight Go is lightweight and ergonomic, offering you unparalleled comfort for extended wear.
- Peripheral Vision Preservation: Since eSight Go does not block your peripheral vision, you’ll always maintain awareness of your surroundings.
- Long Battery Life: Enjoy extended usage with eSight Go’s long-lasting battery contained in an ergonomic neck battery pack. The easy-swap rechargeable batteries each provide up to 3 hours of continuous use. An additional neck battery pack can be purchased for approximately 6 hours additional usage. (Note: to maximize battery life, simply plug in the device using the wall adapter while at home and for stationary activities, such as extended reading sessions.)
- Easy-to-Use Interface: The power of enhanced vision is at your fingertips with eSight Go’s easy-to-use, intuitive controls.
How does eSight Go work?
While the technology is advanced, the operation is straightforward. eSight Go captures what’s in front of you, projects and displays it with clarity and precision in real-time. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Capture: A small, high-speed, high-definition camera housed inside the glasses captures everything you are looking at.
- Project: Advanced, clinically validated algorithms optimize and enhance the footage captured by the camera.
- Display: The footage is presented on two near-to-eye OLED screens in real time with stunning clarity.
- Control: A built-in trackpad gives the user easy-to-maneuver touch controls like zoom and contrast.
A wireless remote and mobile app allow for even more advanced features.
Who can benefit most?
eSight Go can help people with significant central vision loss and legal blindness achieve up to 20/20 enhanced vision.
A typical eSight wearer has visual acuity between 20/60 and 20/800 (although some have visual acuity of 20/1400). Some remaining retinal function is required to use the device. eSight is typically used for a range of over 20 different eye conditions, including age-related macular degeneration and others:
- Cone Rod Dystrophy
- Diabetic Retinopathy
- Macular Degeneration
- Macular Dystrophy
- Keratoconus
- Ocular Albinism
- Optic Atrophy
- Optic Nerve Hypoplasia
- Optic Neuropathy
- Retinopathy of Prematurity
Since every eye condition is unique, we recommend contacting us to learn if eSight is the right fit for you or your loved one.

The Next Evolution: eSight Go vs. eSight 4
Building upon the success of its predecessor, eSight 4, eSight Go represents the next evolution in wearable technology. While eSight 4 revolutionized the way individuals with low vision experienced the world, eSight Go takes it a step further with an even lighter, more compact design, an increased field-of-view, better image stabilization, and easier-to-use software. Additionally, eSight Go offers enhanced comfort and usability, ensuring a seamless experience ideal for all-day wear.
Gentex Acquisition: Making Wearable Tech More Affordable for Consumers
eSight’s parent company, Gentex, is a leading global manufacturer of connected-car technologies and advanced electronic features that optimize driver vision. With Gentex’s recent acquisition of eSight, consumers can expect even greater access to the life-changing technology of eSight Go. By leveraging Gentex’s resources and expertise, eSight can streamline production processes and scale distribution, ultimately driving down prices and making eSight Go more accessible to individuals with visual impairments. As noted in Forbes, this acquisition marks a positive trend in mainstreaming assistive technology in order to provide greater access to the individuals who need it most.
Differentiation from Other Wearables
“Is it just something to help with watching movies or do I want to use it to go to school, to work and have it more integrated into my day-to-day activities? With eSight, I can leave the apartment, walk down the stairs, get an Uber, see the license plate, go to the store, navigate around and read price tags. That’s really where we feel we still have a unique value proposition for our customers.” Roland Mattern, Director of Sales and Marketing, eSight Corp. (from an interview in Forbes)
What sets eSight Go apart from other wearables is its unique focus on preserving peripheral vision and enabling prolonged use. Some devices are completely immersive, obstructing peripheral vision, and are therefore limited in what they can do. On the other hand, eSight Go enhances your entire field of view and allows you to maintain awareness of your surroundings. Coupled with a lightweight frame and long battery life, eSight Go’s open design is perfect for all-day wear, guiding you through a wide variety of daily tasks and activities indoors and out. Use it to see clearly while reading, cooking, paying bills, checking the mail, shopping, errands, you name it!
