FAQs

To upgrade your device, please contact us at support@eyedaptic.com.

Our device was created for people with vision that is impaired by retinal diseases specifically macular degeneration.  With other issues that degrade your vision, such as dense cataracts or other retinal diseases that affect the vision in different ways, the efficacy of our technology may be decreased. It is best to contact your ophthalmologist or optometrist to see if you are a candidate.

We have designed our technology to be very simple and user friendly. There are a few different settings you can choose from with the click of a button.  You can set it in automatic mode with a click of a button.

The eye glasses are one size fits all for the EYE5 and EYE6. All models have adjustable nose pieces for fit and comfort.

• Watching TV
• Reading
• Using a Computer
• Plays & Concerts
• Interacting with others at gatherings 
• And many others daily tasks that we have seen people use the glasses for!

The glasses can be used in a variety of lighting conditions, and include a brightness adjustment so the user can adjust as needed.

Experiment with the reading material at different distances and magnification to find what is the most comfortable for you.

Eye glass prescriptions are relatively stable later in life and will likely not be an issue. Because our technology zooms into text, makes edges crisper and lighting bolder and brighter, the addition of minimal prescriptions in our eyewear will likely be unnecessary. If vision worsens due to your retinal pathology, you will also not need adjustments to your eyewear. However, if you are prescription dependent prior to using our technology, there may be a chance you will need prescription inserts in our glasses, which is something we can easily provide, and can be adjusted over time.
