Request an AppointmentHow E-Scoop Glasses Help Maximize Remaining Vision
For many patients, E-Scoop Glasses are the ideal low vision aid. By redirecting the image to the healthiest available part of the retina, they give new hope to patients who thought everyday activities were no longer possible because of their vision loss. The specialized tint also reduces visual stress from bright light and daylight glare while providing UV protection, leading to greater comfort along with clearer vision.
E-Scoop Glasses include an anti-reflective coating that will:
- Reduce glare during night driving
- Reduce glare when using the computer
- Enlarge the image, allowing the wearer to experience more detail
Who Can Benefit from E-Scoop Glasses?
E-Scoop Glasses are often used to improve vision for patients managing:
- Macular Degeneration
- Glaucoma
- Diabetic Retinopathy
Because E-Scoop Glasses are designed to enhance overall functional vision, they work well as an everyday pair for many patients, complementing task-specific devices like bioptic glasses for distance viewing or Clear Image Microscopic Glasses for reading. You can compare all of our options on the Low Vision Glasses page, including field expanding glasses and FDTS glasses.
The right glasses for you depend on your specific visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and daily goals — all of which we assess during a comprehensive low vision evaluation. Many patients also benefit from pairing their new glasses with ongoing low vision rehabilitation therapy to build confidence using them in daily life.
