eSigh Glasses are a wearable display and a camera that help people with heavily impaired vision to see better again. This is achieved by recording what the user is facing, enhancing the recorded image by customizable parameters such as zoom or contrast, and finally displaying the image onto the two LED displays facing the user's eyes. The device is registered with the United States FDA.
