A built-in telescope reflects an infrared beam off an object, a person or whatever the wearer looks at directly, Greene said. Many major medical centers working with the visually impaired, both in the United States and abroad, have adopted the glasses, the optometrist said. The existing glasses were designed more for mid-range and distance activities.
All patients have to do is look.
They don't have to manipulate the device. For patients whose vision improves with magnification, the high-tech glasses are the next best thing to a miracle. I'm working with my glasses several hours every day, and I'm getting used to them. They're making my life much better. I don't have to be right up in front of the blackboard.
