Great video! Thank you for running through The. many features of the eSight. I will replay this video as I'm learning and growing into the device. I can't tell you how helpful this was for me! Jessica
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment! I'm glad that it was a help. If you look at the description, there are some time stamps so you can jump between certain sections of the video easily. 😀 Wishing you all the best!
S hey Carrie. It’s so great to see you again. Always thinking of you and your family and hoping that you’re doing well. Please give them my regards. Awesome video and a great reviewOf the product. I noticed that it definitely looks better than the east side three.
Hey Steven! I'm glad to hear from you! Thank you. Pablo and I and little Pablo are all good and hanging in there. 😀 I think it is better than the esight 3. 😀 Thanks for watching and for your comment and support as always Steven.
Hi Carrie, Totally loved the device Its a great initiative towards changing lives of people in our society, such a powerful innovation. You were amazing with a detailed review. Thanks for this. It helped understand the product in much detail. Keep coming up with more. You deserve at least a million subscriber soon..
I'm glad that it was helpful! It is a nice product come up but I'm also excited to see how the technology and assistive technology industry continues to move forward in the future. I would love to have 1,000,000 subscribers! haha :)
Thank you so much for explaining the esight 4. My grandson has ONH and there are limited to no advancements in research so finding anything that may help my angel is a blessing. I am thinking of getting the esight3 as he is only 8 years old and the esight4 looks a bit much to start out with. Maybe we could encourage people to sell their 3's as they upgrade so children can have the chance to see. May God bless you for all you do, love & hugs Grandma G 💙
Hello there. I'm glad that he has a great grandma like you. However, I would definitely encourage you to make sure to have him try it before you commit or buy it. These types of assistive technology doesn't always work for everyone. Yes, there can be an adjustment, but sometimes, it isn't the best solution or very useful. It depends on a person's vision and each person has very different vision. I do hope and wish you and him all the best! Let me know how it works out. 😀
You are giving an awesome presentation! My mom needs these so much. I am going to finish watching. Thank you beautiful girl/soul.💞🙏⚘️let's pray for mom to see again.
Thank you! I hope your mom can try it. Like I mentioned in the video... it didn't really work for me. But I wish you and her all the best with it! Esight Go is coming this fall and a few other ones, too. Hopefully I can make videos on them, too. Unfortunately, I am unable to create new videos on this channel for complicated reasons, but I do have a new channel. Here's the link if you want to check it out! youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility
I have tried this device before and I enjoyed it I enjoyed your demonstration that you shown on east side for I would like to have one it’s just a affordability but I hope we can work that out I plan to talk to the experts and I enjoy the video Thank you for having this device available for anyone to be able to use
I like your video very much and appreciate the review of the E site. I tried it and it did not work for me I tried all of the wearable devices but I was able to find one that works for me. The one that worked for me was patriot viewpoint and it was the last one I tried I tried all the other five and that one worked the best for me it is truly amazing. I would say to anyone in the low vision community who is trying wearable devices just because one doesn’t work for you I would encourage everyone to try all of them out on the market and find the one that works best for them. I would say to anyone toI would say to anyone do not get discouraged and give up if the first or second one doesn’t work for you because I tried all of them and the last one I tried work for me.
Thank you Carrie for posting this. my first view of your videos and this is very good. You've answered all the questions I had - meaning you covered the product all-round! I too have the problem of wanting to view from closer distance - with the zoom level needed and head-shake that produces shaky image looks like this might not be the best fit for me. Is there any other product that you use that helps you? thanks again for the great video
Hi thanks for watching! So one thing that the esight does not have is image stabilization. They say that they Will be rolling out an update with that soon though. That would help it stop from shaking so much especially at the higher zoom levels. However, I will be doing a video in the next couple of weeks about another headset but I don't have it here yet. I'm waiting to get it in. Sam from the blind life has a lot of different videos talking about different ones he has used. I believe that one of the ones he really enjoys is called Iris vision. For right now, I just use my phone with the app called wezoom. It's a magnifier app and if I need something hands-free, I use a phone stand with it. He also have a CCTV video magnifier.
Hi Tonie! Thanks for watching and for your comment. That's also my struggle too. I need so much magnification that with how the small the screens are, it's not so helpful. But it is definitely a great product.
Thank you. Glad you liked it! Just to let you know, this channel has been discontinued. but you can follow me on my new channel called Carrie On Accessibility. If you'd like! youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility
Hi there, I have a 12-year-old son who's visually impaired. And we are from the Philippines. I hope you can get the new model for eSight. And if you do, maybe you can think of selling your old one for my son Stephen.
Great review! Being able to turn off one lens would help me tremendously, so I really appreciated that detail. I'm light perception only in one eye and around 20/70 in the other and am looking for something that can get me back to reading music so I can participate in a flute choir. I wouldn't need much magnification, so hopefully wouldn't run into some of the issues you had at high magnification. Thank you so much for the thorough review!
Hi there Hilary! Thanks for watching. I play flute too! not that well anymore since I haven't really practiced in YEARS, but yay! Nice to meet another flute player. I'd like to make a suggestion though... if you don't need too much magnification, have you ever tried using a tablet for your sheet music? It might less expensive than the eSight. Maybe you could scan the sheet music and make it into a PDF and all you would have to do is scroll down or something. Just an idea! Wishing you all the best, Carrie.
@@LiveAccessible Carrie, funny that we both play flute! I've tried using an iPad Pro with LargePrintMusic (a Windows program) to enlarge it with variable results. I've also tried using Power Music on an all-in-one PC. The main issue I run into is getting enough contrast to locate notes within a staff, plus it is super labor intensive trying to prep the music when you don't see very well in the first place. One I am vaccinated, I'm going to make an appointment with a low vision doctor who comes highly recommended to see if he can help me out. Thank you for your thoughts and I really enjoyed your review!
@@hilaryweiner893 Ah! So you've already tried that. Well, I also just thought of something I've heard of- dancing dots. I haven't personally looked much into it, but maybe you can explore about it. :) Here's their website. www.dancingdots.com
Hi carie i m from india i like ur smile n the way u present the videos, keep updating us more. one request that please talk to the vendors regarding out of continent shipping bcz lot of people need it outside USA too this can help lot of people god bless u
Hi there! Thank you so much. When I am able, I do share this with companies, but unfortunately I am just one person, but I will definitely continue telling them. :)
Might be testing one of these soon I tried out a more primitive version at my low vision specialist the other day. Contacts and glasses won't really help me anymore but this thing will won't be able to use it for every little thing however this will be a game changer for me I've gotten so used to doing things with my limited vision that when I tried on the more primitive version at the eye doctor's office it blew me away. It's definitely worth looking into if your vision has deteriorated to the point of prescriptions not being that helpful for you or even if so I would recommend getting it to wear over your prescription lenses is a pretty awesome device. That being said you might have to redo your whole wardrobe to be cyberpunk oriented lol.
Hi there! Thank you for watching and that is so exciting that you'll be trying it out! This is technically augmented reality so it will magnify things for you, but you will still be able to use your peripheral vision. The other option is virtual reality. you would not have any peripheral vision in that case and rely only on what the screen offers so it's not recommended for walking around, but it provides a much bigger screen. Iris vision or ace sight are some options like that. I wish you all the best with whichever device you end up choosing! :-)
@@LiveAccessible I shortly tried one out at the doctor's office. It seems like it's a pretty useful device. I don't know if I could use it for every little thing but even just the most simple things like watching TV or spending time with loved ones things like that would make things a lot easier period that being said if I get comfortable with advice I'd love to help develop another one maybe make a version that's more durable and robust for people to have more active lifestyles. I mean even though I'm very much legally blind I still like to do fairly active things I occasionally go to the shooting range and I used to practice the martial arts. I job is also fairly physical. So maybe I'll love to be helpful in the development of one that is four more active persons to have low vision needs. I mean technology just gets better and better as time goes on the only thing I really noticed in the office was that there was a literal blind spot when it came to the difference from your own personal body out to in front of the camera maybe I just didn't have the camera zoomed in enough. Anyways I'll find out more when I have a chance to thoroughly demonstrate one. maybe I can help develop the next model being an active person. The more I can help my people be more independent and strong the better.
Hey everyone! What do you think about the eSight 4 after watching my video? What other products are you interested in? And make sure to check out the time stamps in the description if you're looking for something specific. 😀 thanks so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe and give it a thumbs up! 👍
Live Accessible I was very excited for the new model. However when I receive them and went through all the settings and tried them I have to admit that my opinion now is that the previous model is better. Like you said the previous model is much lighter and I feel like the focus is better on the previous model.
Hi there! I only tried the esight 3 for a few minutes, but they are supposed to be sending me out an eSight 3 so I do a comparison video. I can't really remember how the esight 3 was in detail, but I'll share when I get it and I compare them. :) Did you have to return the esight 3 when you got your esight 4, or do you have both?
Live Accessible I still have them both but if I decide to keep the new pair I have to send the threes back. I really don’t see that happening because the visual experience in my opinion is about the same if not better with the number three because you can manually focus while auto focus is on and it is fast and easy. Also since the number three is so much lighter that is a big deal
Live Accessible My iPhone, a handheld magnifier and high powered reading glasses. I love all the assistive technology out there, but I can’t afford any of it, other than what I have already. I’m just glad there’s apps that are out now that are low cost or no cost that help.
I've been flirting with the idea of this product for a few years now, since seeing a review by Sam from The Blind Life a few years back. Now, it seems the price has come down (it used to be around 15k) and they now offer financing, whereas before they only offered a crowd funding option, it might be time to revisit this product for my needs. I won"t be financing a car any longer, so perhaps I will put my credit into this product, if it is right for me. I will contact them again and see if they can be more accommodating of my particular circumstances. Thank you for your review. I trust your opinion!
It is definitely a great piece of technology! Even though it doesn't necessarily really work for me, I like what it offers and everything that it is capable of doing. {Smiley} I hope you can work something out with them!
I recently got a device with a larger field of you that works great for me patriot viewpoint from Magnifying America. The device offers larger screens then with the site offers and also offers a much larger field of you even at higher magnification levels this particular device worked much better for me and could work for other people as well well I do understand Issa does work for some people Patria point is another option in wearable low vision devices that should be export people.
Hey Sean! Yes, I have heard of the patriot viewpoint from Sam at the Blind life. It's a great VR headset and I'm glad that you're doing well with it! I have not tried it myself yet, but I hope to do so in the future.
I hope you can try them first to make sure they work! They did not work too well for me. Best of luck! By the way, I have a new channel! You can check it out here: www.youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility . I'm unfortunately not able to continue creating videos on this channel.
I recently lost my eyesight I have very low vision in one eye none in the other so I am really interested in getting the Eastside glasses but would need to know more information on whether it would be helpful for me at this point
Hi there. Thanks for watching. So, the E-Site uses what remaining vision you have and makes things bigger on a screen that's mounted on your face. It really depends on how much eyesight you still have. If you still have some functional vision, I would recommend speaking to one of their agents to help see if it could help you. I hope all the best for you!
It does require a person to have some sight. It really depends on the acuity and visual field. It may be a good idea to speak to someone at esight to do an evaluation to see how helpful it could be. :) I hope that helps.
I've been interested on this glasses for a while. I don't live in the US and I haven't found any local distributor were I can go and try it in my country, so a point of view from someone with low vision comes up really handy before getting a credit to import it. The field of view is something I really wanted clarification about. I think I'd work better for me if the field of view was wider, and the camera and screen resolution are too low for a $6k device. Something with a more immersive view would probable work betterment for men. Do you have any knowledge or have tried some electric glasses that better fit your needs?
I would recommend Iris vision and the acesight vr. I've done a video on the ace site, but I haven't been able to get my hands on the iris vision. however, Sam from the blind life has a really great video on the iris vision and so you can compare the two. The two products I'm mentioning are both virtual reality headsets. So you won't be able to walk around with them like you could with the esight, but for me, and my vision, it worked better. There are people who prefer the esite, but I find that they tend to be more on the low vision or hi partial officially impaired side.
Yeah! The price is pretty high! It is heavier than the third generation, but it's not as heavy as I thought it would be when I first put it on. But if you do have chronic neck pain, I wouldn't recommend it! I'm hoping to get my hands on one of the VR headsets and I can kind of compare them.
Live Accessible I crochet, but right now, I’m only using high powered readers. I was considering getting a (pardon me if I’m using the wrong term) device that I can use with my laptop like a CCTV, I saw it on The Blind Life video last year maybe? The issue with that is it taking up space I need to work. If I only had 6 grand just lying around somewhere... 🤣🤣🤣 At the very least, I wish I could have tested it out just to see how it works.
Hello. You can contact eSight, however, the devices uses the vision a person does have and augments that with cameras/screens. It may not be the best option for him, but like I mentioned, you can contact eSight directly. Also, just to let you know, this channel has been discontinued and you can follow my new channel here: youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility. Best, Carrie.
Update... Tried this device today at my job to see how it would work for me. Did not do well at all. The screens are too small though I like the different concepts that this device brings to the table period they need to go back to the drawing board this device is going to have very limited use for very few persons in my opinion in the low vision and legally blank community because of the screen size and how much you have to fiddle around with the machine even try to get it remotely adjusted to your eyesight level. I do like all the bells and whistles but they need to get a device that works more properly for more people first. I retried a device I tried at my low vision specialist called the ace sight today as well. I had more success with that device though it does not have nearly as many bells and whistles it definitely covers all of the essentials and has better resolution from what the demonstrator was telling me. if they could combine those two devices it would be wonderful the advantage of the ES4 is that the batteries are removable as the lighter weight device so on so forth... The advantages of the ace are very simple it works and is pretty easy to use but you lose your depth perception and peripheral vision period neither of them is perfect.
Yes! I have a video about the Acesight VR Too. It has much better resolution, but like you said, you lose your peripheral vision. The two devices are really meant for two different reasons. AR is augment reality and the eSight fits into this category, but the Acesight is VR which is virtual reality. That replaces your whole visual reality with what you see through the Acesight. I have seen that eSight works for many who are lower on the low vision spectrum instead of those who are more visually impaired or legally blind. Unfortunately, right now, you have two basic options. AR or VR. All wearable low vision devices you have to pick a small screen so you cna see around you or a bigger screen and you can't see around you and can't really walk or navigate around with such a device. I'm also wating for one that you can do both! I guess we'll have to wait together. haha. Wishing you all the best, Carrie.
@@LiveAccessible I really want to help those who are making these devices make them even more accessible period better technology more settings but still fairly easy to use but usable by multiple spectrums of people with visual issues. This will be a very long and arduous task but I'd love to be able to give my input seeing as I try to live a moderately active lifestyle despite Milo vision or legal blindness. I mean I don't think that I should have to stop doing things I love because of my vision so if I can help develop tools or give input on tools that will help other people that feel the same way then I will :-)
Hi i am legally blind in both eyes. I have keratoconus. Which is the scaring of the cornea for those that do not know. I was looking into the esight device last year. Would you happen to know how much it is for them to ship it out you? Or how much is it for a trial run. Any information will be gladly appreciated.
Hi there! I'm sorry for the delayed response. The first step would be to speak with their agents to see if it would we a good fit for you. Then if you do a trial, it's around $100 or $99. The device itself costs around 6 thousand and they do have different options for the price since it is so high. I hope that helps! Have a great one and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Hi there Johnny. It could, but remember that even people with the same eye condition can have very different vision. It would be a good idea to contact esight and talk to some of their representatives to better help you choose. 😊
Hi there. So sorry for the long delay. Unfortunately, the esight and any of the VR/AR headsets created for low vision uses the vision someone has. It's basically a wearable CCTV.
Hi there! Greetings from US and thanks for watching. It is definitely a nice piece of technology, but just keep in mind that it wouldn't work for everyone with glaucoma. It's a good idea to test out any assistive device first. 😊 All the best, Carrie.
Hi there! Thanks for watching. it could help someone with glaucoma, but it really depends on what the eye condition is, acuity, and visual field. I would suggest speaking with esight and having them do an evaluation to see if it would be a good fit. It costs right around $6,000. Hope that helps! :)
Hi there. Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, they do not recommend doing this. You may talk to their agents though and they may be able to give you more information. Take care, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Hi there! Nystagmus is a very varied type of eye condition. It really would depend. I suggest contacting the esight customer service and perhaps they can help assess your vision and see if esight would be a good fit for you. Have a good one!
Hi there! Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, they do have a home trial that is paid or you can go to one of their distributors and try it out with them. 😊
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I'm not sure about biking, but I did walk around outside with it. At night, it depends on how much light is around. It's not the ideal solution for night, but it could still help. It may be a good idea to speak to someone at eSight and they may be able to better help you. 😊
Hi there. Thanks for watching. The eSight 4 is about $6,000, but I don't believe it is available in India. You may want to check with their customer service and they'll better be able to help you. All the best, Carrie.
It really depends on your vision. I hope that you can talk to the company and try it out and see if it works. Unfortuantely, there is no way to determine if esight will work for someone unless you try it out personally.
Hi there! Thanks for watching and reaching out. There are people who have macular degeneration who have had success with this product, and some who have not. It really depends on the individual because even if people have the same eye condition, they can still have very different vision. I would suggest speaking with an esight representative and maybe go to somewhere local that may have the device so that you can try it out! I hope that helps. All the best, Carrie.
Hi There! Thanks for watching and I'm so sorry for the delayed response. I don't believe they ship to India. You may want to send them an email. They also can help you start a fundraiser to get an esight. I hope that helps!
MA'AM I DO NOT HAVE THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS WOULD YOU PLEASE CHAT ME ON WHATSAPP THERE WE CAN DISCUSS WHAT TO DO FOR WHAT NOT TO DO MY WHATSAPP NUMBER IS 76182 37852 THANK YOU
thanks for watching and for your comment! I hope you're doing well. A lot of low vision devices are a higher price because of such limited demand. The resolution of the screens are not bad even if it's 1280 by 960 because the screens are so small. The Pixel density on them are outstanding, but the camera is underwhelming especially since you are a photographer! :-) There are some lower price options that are by other companies. But they're still over 2000. Better than 6, 000 though. This is a Canadian brand too, so that is a factor. it's really the only one I have tried so far, but I'm hoping to come to a better understanding with a few other products. :-)
Hi Shayla. You can go to the eishgt website: esighteyewear.com. They should be able to help and they have their phone number there as well as live chat. However, the esight is best for visual acuities up to a certain point. They can help determine if it is the right fit for you. :)
If you contact them, they'll help you set it up. 😊 I believe you have to try it first to make sure it is a right fit for you and make sure that it really does help your vision. But you can contact them and they should be able to help you!
I am a person with low vision. I can read large fonts. I often operate windows and Android mobiles. I am in India. So I request you to provide me the dealers of ESight 4 Glasses in India and also the person's contact details who use these glasses. This will help me to know the real experience. Priya. Tamilnadu (kanchipuram district) India
The only downside here is cropping the images when magnifying. The human eye doesn't do that, a person with true 20/20 vision sees a full 110 degree field of view with that range. For this device to achieve the same you essentially get 30 degrees field of view. Hard pass for me. I get where it'd be useful but my 20/100 vision gives me more environmental awareness than this thing will. I value that much higher than pure vision acuity.

The blind can see. Then he spat on the ground and made mud from the spittle and smoothed the mud over the blind man’s eyes, and told him, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam” (the word Siloam means “Sent”). So the man went where he was sent and washed and came back seeing! John 9.6,7 Miracles are God's free gift to the sick and dying who otherwise could never afford it.

Very thorough review. Well done.
Excellent review, thank you very much.
Thank you very much for watching!
Thank you! The steadiness or lack of is what concerns me. Hoping eSight 5 will have active stabilization.
I have tried this device before and I enjoyed it I enjoyed your demonstration that you shown on east side for I would like to have one it’s just a affordability but I hope we can work that out I plan to talk to the experts and I enjoy the video
Thank you for having this device available for anyone to be able to use
Thanks for watching and I'm glad that it was helpful! ! I hope all the best for you. :)
I like your video very much and appreciate the review of the E site. I tried it and it did not work for me I tried all of the wearable devices but I was able to find one that works for me. The one that worked for me was patriot viewpoint and it was the last one I tried I tried all the other five and that one worked the best for me it is truly amazing. I would say to anyone in the low vision community who is trying wearable devices just because one doesn’t work for you I would encourage everyone to try all of them out on the market and find the one that works best for them. I would say to anyone toI would say to anyone do not get discouraged and give up if the first or second one doesn’t work for you because I tried all of them and the last one I tried work for me.
Thank you Carrie for posting this. my first view of your videos and this is very good. You've answered all the questions I had - meaning you covered the product all-round! I too have the problem of wanting to view from closer distance - with the zoom level needed and head-shake that produces shaky image looks like this might not be the best fit for me. Is there any other product that you use that helps you? thanks again for the great video
Hi thanks for watching! So one thing that the esight does not have is image stabilization. They say that they Will be rolling out an update with that soon though. That would help it stop from shaking so much especially at the higher zoom levels.
However, I will be doing a video in the next couple of weeks about another headset but I don't have it here yet. I'm waiting to get it in. Sam from the blind life has a lot of different videos talking about different ones he has used. I believe that one of the ones he really enjoys is called Iris vision. For right now, I just use my phone with the app called wezoom. It's a magnifier app and if I need something hands-free, I use a phone stand with it. He also have a CCTV video magnifier.
Great review loved it
Very interesting. Thank you.
Hi Carrie Great video x it does sound great I think I would struggle with magnification I need close up to see .
Hi Tonie! Thanks for watching and for your comment. That's also my struggle too. I need so much magnification that with how the small the screens are, it's not so helpful. But it is definitely a great product.
Good video and product review and good descriptions to Toes up
Thank you so much Mr blind toes! 👍😀 I'm glad you liked it.
Really nice video!
Thank you. Glad you liked it! Just to let you know, this channel has been discontinued. but you can follow me on my new channel called Carrie On Accessibility. If you'd like! youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility
Excellent review.
Thanks Frank! I appreciate you watching and thanks for your comment! {Smiley}
Absolutely wonderful!!! ❤️💕❤️ I am in the process of fundraising for this model!!! I have eSight 3 also!
Thanks Benjamin for watching and for your comment! I'm so glad that you're getting a new one! 😀 That's so exciting!
Hi there, I have a 12-year-old son who's visually impaired. And we are from the Philippines. I hope you can get the new model for eSight. And if you do, maybe you can think of selling your old one for my son Stephen.
Excellent review. I'm an eSight 3 user, but I want to get away from the wire. The trial period for eSight users is definitely worth looking into.
Yes, you should definitely try it out! Thanks for watching and I am SOO sorry that it took me so long to reply to your comment!
Great review! Being able to turn off one lens would help me tremendously, so I really appreciated that detail. I'm light perception only in one eye and around 20/70 in the other and am looking for something that can get me back to reading music so I can participate in a flute choir. I wouldn't need much magnification, so hopefully wouldn't run into some of the issues you had at high magnification. Thank you so much for the thorough review!
Hi there Hilary! Thanks for watching. I play flute too! not that well anymore since I haven't really practiced in YEARS, but yay! Nice to meet another flute player.
I'd like to make a suggestion though... if you don't need too much magnification, have you ever tried using a tablet for your sheet music? It might less expensive than the eSight. Maybe you could scan the sheet music and make it into a PDF and all you would have to do is scroll down or something. Just an idea!
Wishing you all the best, Carrie.
@@LiveAccessible Carrie, funny that we both play flute! I've tried using an iPad Pro with LargePrintMusic (a Windows program) to enlarge it with variable results. I've also tried using Power Music on an all-in-one PC. The main issue I run into is getting enough contrast to locate notes within a staff, plus it is super labor intensive trying to prep the music when you don't see very well in the first place. One I am vaccinated, I'm going to make an appointment with a low vision doctor who comes highly recommended to see if he can help me out. Thank you for your thoughts and I really enjoyed your review!
@@hilaryweiner893 Ah! So you've already tried that. Well, I also just thought of something I've heard of- dancing dots. I haven't personally looked much into it, but maybe you can explore about it. :) Here's their website. www.dancingdots.com
Hi carie i m from india i like ur smile n the way u present the videos, keep updating us more. one request that please talk to the vendors regarding out of continent shipping bcz lot of people need it outside USA too this can help lot of people god bless u
Hi there! Thank you so much. When I am able, I do share this with companies, but unfortunately I am just one person, but I will definitely continue telling them. :)
Might be testing one of these soon I tried out a more primitive version at my low vision specialist the other day. Contacts and glasses won't really help me anymore but this thing will won't be able to use it for every little thing however this will be a game changer for me I've gotten so used to doing things with my limited vision that when I tried on the more primitive version at the eye doctor's office it blew me away. It's definitely worth looking into if your vision has deteriorated to the point of prescriptions not being that helpful for you or even if so I would recommend getting it to wear over your prescription lenses is a pretty awesome device. That being said you might have to redo your whole wardrobe to be cyberpunk oriented lol.
Hi there! Thank you for watching and that is so exciting that you'll be trying it out! This is technically augmented reality so it will magnify things for you, but you will still be able to use your peripheral vision. The other option is virtual reality. you would not have any peripheral vision in that case and rely only on what the screen offers so it's not recommended for walking around, but it provides a much bigger screen. Iris vision or ace sight are some options like that. I wish you all the best with whichever device you end up choosing! :-)
@@LiveAccessible I shortly tried one out at the doctor's office. It seems like it's a pretty useful device. I don't know if I could use it for every little thing but even just the most simple things like watching TV or spending time with loved ones things like that would make things a lot easier period that being said if I get comfortable with advice I'd love to help develop another one maybe make a version that's more durable and robust for people to have more active lifestyles. I mean even though I'm very much legally blind I still like to do fairly active things I occasionally go to the shooting range and I used to practice the martial arts. I job is also fairly physical. So maybe I'll love to be helpful in the development of one that is four more active persons to have low vision needs. I mean technology just gets better and better as time goes on the only thing I really noticed in the office was that there was a literal blind spot when it came to the difference from your own personal body out to in front of the camera maybe I just didn't have the camera zoomed in enough. Anyways I'll find out more when I have a chance to thoroughly demonstrate one. maybe I can help develop the next model being an active person. The more I can help my people be more independent and strong the better.
Hey everyone! What do you think about the eSight 4 after watching my video? What other products are you interested in?
And make sure to check out the time stamps in the description if you're looking for something specific. 😀 thanks so much for watching and don't forget to subscribe and give it a thumbs up! 👍
Live Accessible I was very excited for the new model. However when I receive them and went through all the settings and tried them I have to admit that my opinion now is that the previous model is better. Like you said the previous model is much lighter and I feel like the focus is better on the previous model.
Hi there! I only tried the esight 3 for a few minutes, but they are supposed to be sending me out an eSight 3 so I do a comparison video. I can't really remember how the esight 3 was in detail, but I'll share when I get it and I compare them. :) Did you have to return the esight 3 when you got your esight 4, or do you have both?
Live Accessible I still have them both but if I decide to keep the new pair I have to send the threes back. I really don’t see that happening because the visual experience in my opinion is about the same if not better with the number three because you can manually focus while auto focus is on and it is fast and easy. Also since the number three is so much lighter that is a big deal
Where can buy esight glasses?tnx
carrie i have sent you an email eagerly waiting for your reply
Awww! I want one! Especially with what I’m doing now! I’m still rocking low tech devices. 😔
What devices are you using? I'm pretty much still just using my phone for everything. Lol.
Live Accessible My iPhone, a handheld magnifier and high powered reading glasses. I love all the assistive technology out there, but I can’t afford any of it, other than what I have already. I’m just glad there’s apps that are out now that are low cost or no cost that help.
What about all the DIY CCTV ideas? Sam has a lot of videos about it? They are pretty budget. And they can be hands free
I will🙏that God will purchase them for you🌷
I've been flirting with the idea of this product for a few years now, since seeing a review by Sam from The Blind Life a few years back. Now, it seems the price has come down (it used to be around 15k) and they now offer financing, whereas before they only offered a crowd funding option, it might be time to revisit this product for my needs. I won"t be financing a car any longer, so perhaps I will put my credit into this product, if it is right for me. I will contact them again and see if they can be more accommodating of my particular circumstances. Thank you for your review. I trust your opinion!
It is definitely a great piece of technology! Even though it doesn't necessarily really work for me, I like what it offers and everything that it is capable of doing. {Smiley} I hope you can work something out with them!
That’s cool
I recently got a device with a larger field of you that works great for me patriot viewpoint from Magnifying America. The device offers larger screens then with the site offers and also offers a much larger field of you even at higher magnification levels this particular device worked much better for me and could work for other people as well well I do understand Issa does work for some people Patria point is another option in wearable low vision devices that should be export people.
Hey Sean! Yes, I have heard of the patriot viewpoint from Sam at the Blind life. It's a great VR headset and I'm glad that you're doing well with it! I have not tried it myself yet, but I hope to do so in the future.
I’ve been saving to get these. Still have a very long way to go.
I hope you can try them first to make sure they work! They did not work too well for me. Best of luck! By the way, I have a new channel! You can check it out here: www.youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility . I'm unfortunately not able to continue creating videos on this channel.
Is it helpful for cortical visual impairment?
Does this device work for people with 20/200 vision? Anybody can help?
Is esight 4 good for people with stargardt disease?
I recently lost my eyesight I have very low vision in one eye none in the other so I am really interested in getting the Eastside glasses but would need to know more information on whether it would be helpful for me at this point
Hi there. Thanks for watching. So, the E-Site uses what remaining vision you have and makes things bigger on a screen that's mounted on your face. It really depends on how much eyesight you still have. If you still have some functional vision, I would recommend speaking to one of their agents to help see if it could help you. I hope all the best for you!
Hi the video was very interesting, i wonder does it can be used for the people who has ablasio retina or Retinal detachment?
It does require a person to have some sight. It really depends on the acuity and visual field. It may be a good idea to speak to someone at esight to do an evaluation to see how helpful it could be. :) I hope that helps.
Is it useful for LCA ?? Pls reply
I've been interested on this glasses for a while. I don't live in the US and I haven't found any local distributor were I can go and try it in my country, so a point of view from someone with low vision comes up really handy before getting a credit to import it.
The field of view is something I really wanted clarification about. I think I'd work better for me if the field of view was wider, and the camera and screen resolution are too low for a $6k device.
Something with a more immersive view would probable work betterment for men. Do you have any knowledge or have tried some electric glasses that better fit your needs?
I would recommend Iris vision and the acesight vr. I've done a video on the ace site, but I haven't been able to get my hands on the iris vision. however, Sam from the blind life has a really great video on the iris vision and so you can compare the two. The two products I'm mentioning are both virtual reality headsets. So you won't be able to walk around with them like you could with the esight, but for me, and my vision, it worked better. There are people who prefer the esite, but I find that they tend to be more on the low vision or hi partial officially impaired side.
Do you have vertical nystagmus?
The weight would be an issue, especially with my chronic neck pain. But, other than that, the features are pretty impressive. The price...yow! 😱
Yeah! The price is pretty high! It is heavier than the third generation, but it's not as heavy as I thought it would be when I first put it on. But if you do have chronic neck pain, I wouldn't recommend it! I'm hoping to get my hands on one of the VR headsets and I can kind of compare them.
Live Accessible I crochet, but right now, I’m only using high powered readers. I was considering getting a (pardon me if I’m using the wrong term) device that I can use with my laptop like a CCTV, I saw it on The Blind Life video last year maybe? The issue with that is it taking up space I need to work. If I only had 6 grand just lying around somewhere... 🤣🤣🤣
At the very least, I wish I could have tested it out just to see how it works.
My husband can only see bright lights since his retina reattachment surgery about 4 years ago. Could this product help him?
Hello. You can contact eSight, however, the devices uses the vision a person does have and augments that with cameras/screens. It may not be the best option for him, but like I mentioned, you can contact eSight directly. Also, just to let you know, this channel has been discontinued and you can follow my new channel here: youtube.com/@carrieonaccessibility. Best, Carrie.
Interesting. It would not really work for me but would be pretty neat fir some people I think.
It doesn't work exactly for me either, but it definitely has for Other people. 😀
Update... Tried this device today at my job to see how it would work for me. Did not do well at all. The screens are too small though I like the different concepts that this device brings to the table period they need to go back to the drawing board this device is going to have very limited use for very few persons in my opinion in the low vision and legally blank community because of the screen size and how much you have to fiddle around with the machine even try to get it remotely adjusted to your eyesight level. I do like all the bells and whistles but they need to get a device that works more properly for more people first. I retried a device I tried at my low vision specialist called the ace sight today as well. I had more success with that device though it does not have nearly as many bells and whistles it definitely covers all of the essentials and has better resolution from what the demonstrator was telling me. if they could combine those two devices it would be wonderful the advantage of the ES4 is that the batteries are removable as the lighter weight device so on so forth... The advantages of the ace are very simple it works and is pretty easy to use but you lose your depth perception and peripheral vision period neither of them is perfect.
Yes! I have a video about the Acesight VR Too. It has much better resolution, but like you said, you lose your peripheral vision. The two devices are really meant for two different reasons. AR is augment reality and the eSight fits into this category, but the Acesight is VR which is virtual reality. That replaces your whole visual reality with what you see through the Acesight. I have seen that eSight works for many who are lower on the low vision spectrum instead of those who are more visually impaired or legally blind. Unfortunately, right now, you have two basic options. AR or VR. All wearable low vision devices you have to pick a small screen so you cna see around you or a bigger screen and you can't see around you and can't really walk or navigate around with such a device. I'm also wating for one that you can do both! I guess we'll have to wait together. haha. Wishing you all the best, Carrie.
@@LiveAccessible I really want to help those who are making these devices make them even more accessible period better technology more settings but still fairly easy to use but usable by multiple spectrums of people with visual issues. This will be a very long and arduous task but I'd love to be able to give my input seeing as I try to live a moderately active lifestyle despite Milo vision or legal blindness. I mean I don't think that I should have to stop doing things I love because of my vision so if I can help develop tools or give input on tools that will help other people that feel the same way then I will :-)
Hi i am legally blind in both eyes. I have keratoconus. Which is the scaring of the cornea for those that do not know. I was looking into the esight device last year. Would you happen to know how much it is for them to ship it out you? Or how much is it for a trial run. Any information will be gladly appreciated.
Hi there! I'm sorry for the delayed response. The first step would be to speak with their agents to see if it would we a good fit for you. Then if you do a trial, it's around $100 or $99. The device itself costs around 6 thousand and they do have different options for the price since it is so high. I hope that helps! Have a great one and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I like it
Thanks for watching!
Hi Carol. Will this work for someone that has Stargardts disease.
Hi there Johnny. It could, but remember that even people with the same eye condition can have very different vision. It would be a good idea to contact esight and talk to some of their representatives to better help you choose. 😊
Hi, I want to know that ,Is it useful for writing for low visioners?
Yes, you can use it for that, too. 😊
Hello is it useful for a total blind because diabetes? Thanks
Hi there. So sorry for the long delay. Unfortunately, the esight and any of the VR/AR headsets created for low vision uses the vision someone has. It's basically a wearable CCTV.
Love new technology for the visually impaired
Thanks for watching Larry! I hope the tend keeps going and that they make better tech!
Live Accessible you're welcome

Hello I'm from ph. My mom has been suffering from glaucoma since birth and I would really love to have this one as a present to my mother someday.
Hi there! Greetings from US and thanks for watching. It is definitely a nice piece of technology, but just keep in mind that it wouldn't work for everyone with glaucoma. It's a good idea to test out any assistive device first. 😊 All the best, Carrie.
Will this eSight 4 help with someone with glaucoma? How much does it cost please?
Great explantion thank you 👍💖
Hi there! Thanks for watching. it could help someone with glaucoma, but it really depends on what the eye condition is, acuity, and visual field. I would suggest speaking with esight and having them do an evaluation to see if it would be a good fit. It costs right around $6,000. Hope that helps! :)
@@LiveAccessible Thanks so much for your reply. Will look into it. GOD BLESS 👍💖💖💖
I have glaucoma can I used this esight4 to take my eye test & drive with my Esight on my head
Hi there. Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, they do not recommend doing this. You may talk to their agents though and they may be able to give you more information. Take care, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
I'm trying to decide on the esight 4 or the iris vision 2

Does this device work with nystagmus thanks for the awesome review and this technology
Hi there! Nystagmus is a very varied type of eye condition. It really would depend. I suggest contacting the esight customer service and perhaps they can help assess your vision and see if esight would be a good fit for you. Have a good one!
@Live Accessible OK thanks for the help I’ll check it out 😊 thanks
Can we get trial of it and after that if we think it is useful for us then we will buy it?
Hi there! Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, they do have a home trial that is paid or you can go to one of their distributors and try it out with them. 😊
Will we be able to bike with this device ? Or walk at dark with it ? Thank you
Hi there! Thanks for watching. I'm not sure about biking, but I did walk around outside with it. At night, it depends on how much light is around. It's not the ideal solution for night, but it could still help. It may be a good idea to speak to someone at eSight and they may be able to better help you. 😊
Whats the price of weight in Indian currency and from where will we get it in India?

What is the price of e sight 4 in dollars ?
Hi there! Thanks for watching. eSight 4 is right about $6,000.
Hi I m from india.i. Want to know that this divice work for totally blind person.
Hi there. Unfortunately, it does not. It uses what vision a person has an acts like a electronic magnifier. I hope that answered your question.
What would be the price and is it available in India?
Hi there. Thanks for watching. The eSight 4 is about $6,000, but I don't believe it is available in India. You may want to check with their customer service and they'll better be able to help you. All the best, Carrie.
Does it work for optic nerve damage ?
It really depends on your vision. I hope that you can talk to the company and try it out and see if it works. Unfortuantely, there is no way to determine if esight will work for someone unless you try it out personally.
HI Can this be used when a person has macula degeneration
Hi there! Thanks for watching and reaching out. There are people who have macular degeneration who have had success with this product, and some who have not. It really depends on the individual because even if people have the same eye condition, they can still have very different vision. I would suggest speaking with an esight representative and maybe go to somewhere local that may have the device so that you can try it out! I hope that helps. All the best, Carrie.
Hello mam I am from India I need esight but I can't perchase it in india because lack of mony would you please help me to perchase it?

@@LiveAccessible hi
how much is it?
It is right around 6 thousand US Dollars.
Does it have a logout button?
Are you talking about the device itself? No, it does not have a button to do that, but you should be able to do that through settings.
@@LiveAccessible its a sword art online reference.
@@tcup4fun ah.. okay...
How much ??
Hi there, the eSight retails for about $6K
Its a nice idea, but overpriced and would expect better resolution, considering entry level video sensors in consumer grade cameras out resolve these.
thanks for watching and for your comment! I hope you're doing well. A lot of low vision devices are a higher price because of such limited demand. The resolution of the screens are not bad even if it's 1280 by 960 because the screens are so small. The Pixel density on them are outstanding, but the camera is underwhelming especially since you are a photographer! :-)
There are some lower price options that are by other companies. But they're still over 2000. Better than 6, 000 though. This is a Canadian brand too, so that is a factor. it's really the only one I have tried so far, but I'm hoping to come to a better understanding with a few other products. :-)
@@LiveAccessible Yeah, "medical devices" seem to add quite a markup.
You said it! 😀
My vision is 1200
How can I get a one ☝🏽 like to get one ☝🏽
Hi Shayla. You can go to the eishgt website: esighteyewear.com. They should be able to help and they have their phone number there as well as live chat. However, the esight is best for visual acuities up to a certain point. They can help determine if it is the right fit for you. :)
Thank you so much 😊

Hi, thanks for watching. The eSight Is right around $6,000. They do have payment plans and help you start a fundraiser if it works for you.
@@LiveAccessible how to get a fundraiser?
If you contact them, they'll help you set it up. 😊 I believe you have to try it first to make sure it is a right fit for you and make sure that it really does help your vision. But you can contact them and they should be able to help you!
how much is this
Hi there. The eSight 4 is about 6,000.
dollar???6000$??
I am a person with low vision. I can read large fonts. I often operate windows and Android mobiles. I am in India. So I request you to provide me the dealers of ESight 4 Glasses in India and also the person's contact details who use these glasses. This will help me to know the real experience. Priya. Tamilnadu (kanchipuram district) India
Hi, I'm pretty sure device isn't available in India.
The only downside here is cropping the images when magnifying. The human eye doesn't do that, a person with true 20/20 vision sees a full 110 degree field of view with that range. For this device to achieve the same you essentially get 30 degrees field of view. Hard pass for me. I get where it'd be useful but my 20/100 vision gives me more environmental awareness than this thing will. I value that much higher than pure vision acuity.

The blind can see. Then he spat on the ground and made mud from the spittle and smoothed the mud over the blind man’s eyes, and told him, “Go and wash in the Pool of Siloam” (the word Siloam means “Sent”). So the man went where he was sent and washed and came back seeing! John 9.6,7 Miracles are God's free gift to the sick and dying who otherwise could never afford it.
