How does OXSIGHT Onyx work?
The smart glasses work by capturing an image with the inbuilt camera, processing and enhancing it using the onboard computer and displaying it on bright, colour-rich OLED screens within the smart glasses. This image is then visible to the part of the eye with suitable remaining vision.
How will it help with my Central Vision Loss?
OXSIGHT Onyx smart glasses allow you to zoom into an image, making it clearer and bigger. Using the latest AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology, the onboard computer simultaneously processes the image and can help you to better identify faces, text and objects.

Visionbridge founder Julian Jackson commented, ” I urge all leaders of patient support groups and professionals across education, social care and eye/healthcare/voluntary/community sectors to speak to their members, patients, clients and those in their care, about this remarkably innovative new low vision device.”
“VisionBridge supports any disruptive technology that can improve the independence, mobility, connectivity, confidence, educational and employment opportunities, mental health and emotional-wellbeing of anyone experiencing sight-loss. We feel that the Oxsight Onyx really ticks all these boxes! “
