People who are legally blind (also referred to as low-vision by the medical community) try-on eSight for the first time, they typically have one of three reactions:
盲人第一次试戴eSight时,他们通常有三种反应:
“Wow”: Approximately one-third of the people will see things for the first time in a long time (or ever). They will immediately see faces of loved ones, be able to read books, watch TV, and walk without the assistance of their canes or Seeing Eye dogs. It is an extremely amazing and emotional experience. Click here for a short video of what one of our users calls “the wow factor.”
“哇”:大约有三分之一的人会在很长一段时间(或曾经)内第一次看到东西。他们将立即看到亲人的面孔,可以读书,看电视,和没有援助的手杖就走或导盲犬。这是一个非常神奇的和情感体验。点击这里,观看一个简短的视频,了解我们一个用户所说的“哇。”
“It works”: Another third of the people will show significant improvement in vision tests but will be overwhelmed with what they see and for how long they can initially wear eSight. With training and practice, these people will quickly be successful in regaining their sight.
“它的确有用”:三分之一的人将会在视力测试中明显改善成绩,但当他们戴上eSight不久,他们会被他们所看到的以及其持续性震惊。通过训练和实践,这些人将很快成功地重见光明。
“I’m not sure”: Finally, a third of people will struggle to use eSight. They may have complicating physical limitations or other medical factors. They will likely be slow to adjust. Our extensive training program often helps some of these individuals make great gains
“我不确定”:最后,有三分之一的人将很难使用eSight。他们可能有复杂的物理限制或其他医疗因素。他们可能会缓慢调整。我们广泛的培训计划将会帮助这些个人获得伟大的成就。
10. How does eSight work? 10。eSight如何工作?
eSight uses a sophisticated high-speed camera, patented video processing software, a computer processor and the highest quality video OLED screens to project a real-time image that allow the legally blind to actually see.
eSight使用复杂的高速摄影机,专利视频处理软件,计算机处理器和最高质量的视频有机发光两极管屏幕项目实时图像,允许盲人实际看到东西。

While most legally blind individuals retain some very limited eye sight, often concentrated in their peripheral vision, their eyes do not receive an adequate signal for the brain to recognize what is being seen. This phenomena creates blind spots, blurriness, inability to detect contrast, and other symptoms that reduce vision. eSight eliminates or significantly corrects these impediments.
虽然大多数盲人个体保留一些非常有限的视野,经常集中在他们的周边视觉,他们的眼睛得不到对大脑来说可以用于识别看到的一切足够的信号。这现象产生了盲点,比较模糊,无法检测对比以及其他症状,这些都降低了他们的视力。eSight可以消除或显著纠正这些障碍。
The result is that people with low-vision that use eSight describe their symptoms falling away, revealing a world they otherwise aren’t able to see.
使用eSight的结果是,使用eSight的低视力患者描述他们的症状正在消失,并且揭示出一个他们无法看到的世界。
11. What do ophthalmologists and optometrists think of eSight?
11。眼科医师和验光师觉得eSight怎么样?
eSight is a very recent innovation so many Ophthalmologists and Optometrists have not heard about it.
eSight是一个非常创新的事物,以至于很多眼科医师和验光师没有听说过它。
Some Ophthalmologists and Optometrists, when asked about eSight, might initially respond negatively, doubting that eSight would actually work for their patients.
一些眼科医师和验光师,当被问及eSight,最初可能反应消极,怀疑eSight是否真的会为病人工作。
However, when these clinicians have taken the time to learn about eSight, they have embraced this new breakthrough. They have seen the profound improvements their patients have made using eSight Glasses—often improving from extremely low-vision to near 20:20 sight.
然而,当这些临床医生花时间了解eSight,他们接受了这个新突破。他们已经看到了巨大的改善,他们使用eSight的患者经常从20:20附近的极低视力得到改善。

12. Is there clinical data to support the use of eSight?
12。有临床数据支持使用eSight ?
A clinical study conducted in partnership with a number of Ophthalmologists and the CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) is in the process of being finalized. Once complete, the full results will be published. Initial results clearly demonstrates that eSight users achieve very significant improvements using eSight.
临床研究与许多眼科医师和CNIB(加拿大国家盲人协会)的过程中被完成。一旦完成,将公布完整的结果。最初的结果清楚地表明,使用eSight的用户得到了非常显著的改善。
For the legally blind, the only study that matters is whether eSight works for them and their particular condition. And the only way to know, is to try eSight for themselves.
盲人,唯一的问题是,eSight是否适合他们。而获得答案唯一的方法是尝试eSight。
13. How much does eSight cost and what can I do if I cannot afford the cost?
13岁。eSight需要花费多少钱,我能做些什么,如果我无法负担起这成本呢?
eSight costs $15,000.

eSight将使用一切可能的方法来让需要我们眼镜的人可以受益于使用它们。我们致力于确保低视力患者获得我们的工具来提高他们的视力和他们的生活质量。
To date, we have had some success in connecting our users with funding including insurance reimbursements, government programs, employer disability programs, corporate sponsorships, service club donations, charitable foundation contributions, crowdsourcing, and other fundraising efforts to raise the money to pay for eSight.
迄今为止,我们成功联系上了一些资金包括保险补偿,政府项目,雇主残疾项目,企业赞助,服务俱乐部捐赠,慈善基金会捐款,众包和其他融资筹集资金来支付eSight。

15. Why does eSight cost so much?
15。为什么eSight这么贵?
eSight Glasses are made of extremely sophisticated and expensive component parts. Many millions of dollars have been spent in research and development. Many millions more will be spent on further research and development.
eSight眼镜具备非常复杂和昂贵的组成部分。数以百万计的美元被用于研究和开发。更多数百万美元将用于进一步的研究和发展。
While eSight can be considered expensive by some at $15,000, many consider such a price reasonable in that it actually delivers the gift-of-sight.
虽然eSight可以被认为15000美元比较昂贵,但很多人认为作为获得视力的对价,这样的价格合理。
16. Does eSight have any competitors?
16。eSight是否有竞争对手吗?
No other vision aid offers the same gift-of-sight as eSight.
没有其他视觉援助可以像eSight一样提供视力。
Many people who are legally blind use a variety of visual aids such as white canes, magnifying glasses, CCTVs and electronic text-to-speech reading aids. None of these devices deliver the actual sight eSight does. Others obtain beautiful Seeing Eye dogs, which are magnificently trained at a cost of approximately twice that of eSight, but also do not deliver the actual gift-of-sight that eSight delivers.
很多人是盲人使用各种直观教具如白手杖、放大镜、闭路电视和电子文本阅读设备。这些设备并不直接提供视力。其他人获得的美丽的导盲狗,其训练花费大约是eSight价格的两倍,但也不带来eSight所具备的效果。
Much research is being conducted into surgical methods, estimated to cost approximately $150,000 per operation. The improvement in sight that results from such a surgical procedure, if successful, is a fraction of the sight that eSight provides at approximately one tenth the cost – and without the risk of surgery.
许多正用于手术研究的成本,每个手术花费约150000美元。这样一个改善视力的外科手术的结果,如果成功,只是改善视力的一小部分。而eSight的花费大约是其十分之一的成本,但却没有手术的风险。
