E-Scoop Glasses

E-Scoop glasses are a specialized optical solution designed to assist individuals with low vision by magnifying and enhancing visual clarity in various lighting conditions. Developed to bridge the gap between standard eyeglasses and telescopic glasses, E-Scoop lenses incorporate advanced lens technology to improve contrast, reduce glare, and shift images to a healthier part of the retina.

How Do E-Scoop Glasses Work?

E-Scoop lenses are custom-made to combine five essential optical properties that work together to enhance vision:

1. A Custom Tint: Reduce glare and enhance contrast for daytime or nighttime use.

2. Anti-Reflective Coating: Minimizes reflections and improves clarity.

3. Special Lens Thickness: Enhances magnification while maintaining a natural appearance.

4. Special Base Curve: Adjusts the angle of the lens to optimize visual alignment.

5. Base Up or Base Down Prism: Shifts the image to a healthier retinal area, enhancing vision.

Versatile Everyday Use

Unlike telescopic lenses, E-Scoop glasses can be worn like regular prescription glasses. They are effective for a variety of daily activities, including:

• Driving at Night: Reducing glare from headlights and streetlights.

• Outdoor Activities: Minimizing sun glare while maintaining clarity.

• Indoor Use: Improving vision in low-light or dimly lit environments.

• Computer Work: Reducing eye strain and enhancing screen visibility.

Are E-Scoop Glasses Right for You?

E-Scoop glasses are particularly beneficial for individuals with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or other conditions that cause contrast sensitivity and glare issues.
