Download Lumyeye Pro →How much does OrCam MyEye cost in the US?
The OrCam US MyEye page displayed a starting price of $4,250 when reviewed on October 22, 2026. This is a published starting price, not a quote for every MyEye model. Ask which device, accessories, warranty and services the offer includes.
Lumyeye Pro costs $16.99 per month at the listed US price: $203.88 over 12 months or $611.64 over 36 months. These subscription-only totals exclude a phone, connectivity, taxes and future price changes. A hardware purchase and an app subscription have different ownership and support terms.
Compare the cost of the setup you will actually use
Ask for the exact MyEye model, training, warranty, return terms, optional accessories and final US price in a written quote. For Lumyeye Pro, include a compatible phone if you do not already own one and check the current monthly and annual subscription options. A lower subscription cost does not establish equivalent features or reading accuracy.
Try a letter, a label and a longer page that you already know. With Lumyeye Pro, spoken right, left, up and down cues help frame a page before automatic capture; the assistant then summarizes it and offers email or SMS sharing and saving with a chosen or suggested file name and folder. Some sharing steps require confirmation in the phone's composer, and a saved file must remain accessible for later questions. Compare the complete task, including how you start, repeat, file and retrieve information. The document workflow explains each step; the English iPhone recording shows one example.
If locating belongings is also important, inspect Lumyeye Pro's voice-led object search: it can confirm a visible target, give left, right and straight-ahead cues, describe a detected obstacle and suggest a detour, with spatial beeps through headphones and more frequent beeps when distance guidance is available. The black-bag recording illustrates one approach. Camera coverage, device capabilities and surroundings affect the result; keep using your usual mobility aids. These are Lumyeye Pro capabilities to test, not a claim that OrCam lacks them or a measured superiority over OrCam.

Common question
OrCam, BlindShell or Lumyeye Pro?
OrCam is a glasses-mounted visual aid. BlindShell is a physical-button phone. Lumyeye Pro addresses selected visual-assistance and phone tasks on compatible iPhone devices, with different controls and limits from a dedicated reader or physical-button phone.
Why switch
3 reasons to choose Lumyeye Pro.
Documented tasks
Consult the published Lumyeye Pro commands and recorded examples. Changes to an app do not establish that it is more accurate than a dedicated device.
Everyday phone tasks by voice
Lumyeye Pro supports voice commands for communication, navigation and everyday organization. Availability and confirmation steps depend on the platform and action. See the usage guide and iPhone recordings.
For reading needs associated with AMD or retinitis pigmentosa, compare the tasks you want to complete and seek individualized low-vision support.
In all honesty
When OrCam MyEye may suit you.
Consider OrCam MyEye if you prefer a dedicated glasses-mounted reader or need a function documented for the exact model, such as saved face recognition. Try its controls and your own documents before purchasing.
If you already use a compatible phone, try Lumyeye Pro on your own materials. If saved face recognition or a dedicated device is essential, compare the relevant OrCam model and its handling before choosing.

Should I keep my OrCam if I buy Lumyeye Pro?
You can try Lumyeye Pro without giving up your existing device. Compare comfort, task completion and the functions you rely on before deciding whether to use either product or both.
What if my iPhone breaks down?
You need a working compatible phone to use Lumyeye Pro. Reinstallation and access depend on your device and purchase method; contact Lumyeye Pro support for help. For an OrCam device, ask the reseller about warranty, repair and loan arrangements.

How do I learn Lumyeye Pro when I discover the app?
