Systems of Sight Eyewear: How It Works

Light dispersion in a prism

Unique Prism Technology

The Systems of Sight low-vision device prism technology redirects images to a healthy quadrant of the macula (or island of cones). This prism lens is one of two lenses and is specially cut to enhance light transmission.

More Normal Field of Vision

Even though there are two lenses per eye, the device is not telescopic due to the minimal separation between lenses. The wearer maintains their full field of vision and depth perception is not affected assuming the wearer is using both eyes.
This allows the wearer to see straight ahead without as much of the interference associated with Macular Degeneration.

Eyewear -- Not Telescopic or Magnification

Unlike other low vision devices, Systems of Sight eyewear is worn like regular eyeglasses. In addition, Systems of Sight allows wearers to see at a distance as well as close up, helping them regain their independence. This is unlike other devices, that only address distance (telescopic) or close-up (magnification).

Custom-made Product

Each device is made with unique dimensions utilizing strict tolerances resulting in a custom made product for each client. The consultation process allows the client to see exactly how well the low-vision eyewear will benefit them utilizing trial lenses.
