Josh, Glaucoma

Nottingham, England

Josh was born with glaucoma and has lived with limited vision his whole life. He was convinced nothing would work to enable him to see the world around him. He then heard about a wearable electronic device that offers hands free magnification and immediately thought about the difference it could make to his work in a warehouse.

He made contact with VisionAid for a free demonstration of the Acesight VR. From the moment he put it on he was overwhelmed, finally, he could see clearly for the first time in his life. He described the feeling as being like a child taking his first steps. For Joshua being able to see his family and their faces’ is a whole new world that’s “literally eye opening”.

At work he can now do jobs that require attention to detail, he can zoom in on labels, read paperwork, write and, most importantly, he’s got his hands free.

Josh commented: “Where have you been all my life, if it didn’t work, I’d have been honest. I feel more alert and doors have been opened. I went for a drive and could see out of the window. This sounds like a small thing but it has opened up the world to me”.
