AMD - how Lumyeye Pro helps.

Lumyeye Pro offers spoken reading and visual descriptions for everyday tasks. Explore the functions on your own device and check the current pricing before choosing.

Understanding AMD

Daily symptoms.

Age-related macular degeneration affects the macula and can reduce central vision. Effects and progression vary. Discuss symptoms, treatment and vision rehabilitation with your eye-care professional. Stargardt disease is a distinct inherited condition, not simply a juvenile form of age-related AMD.

Reading can become difficult

Letters at the center of your gaze fade or blur. Reading a letter, a book, or a label becomes exhausting.

Faces become indistinct

A silhouette is perceived, but the facial features disappear. Recognizing a loved one in the street or across the table becomes difficult.

Straight lines bend

Metamorphopsia distorts edges: the side of a door, the frame of a window, the bars of a fence appear wavy.

Central spot (scotoma)

At an advanced stage, a dark or blurry spot permanently masks the center of vision. Contrast drops, colors fade.

Medical background: National Eye Institute: AMD.

Lumyeye Pro for AMD

Concretely, what the app does.

Lumyeye Pro does not correct the retina - it bypasses the central loss by turning images into voice. Here are the modules most useful for AMD.

1
Mail and book readingPhotograph a letter, an invoice, a book page: Lumyeye Pro reads aloud, in English, in full, with no visual effort.
2
Scene descriptionThe app describes what is in front of you: who is in the room, what objects are on the table, the general atmosphere. Compensates the loss of face recognition.
3
Object identificationAsk "what am I holding?": Lumyeye Pro answers. Medication, remote, garment, condiment - the app recognizes and names.
4
Color identificationContrast and colors are altered by AMD. Lumyeye Pro names the exact color of a shirt, a sock, or a fruit.
5
Label and price readingAt the supermarket, at the pharmacy: point, Lumyeye Pro reads. Price, dosage, expiration date, composition.
6
Vision Live · Lumyeye ProOn iPhone, you stream live video and ask voice questions: "What is in front of me?", "What is written here?". Lumyeye Pro answers in real time. Ideal for advanced AMD.

Does Lumyeye Pro work for dry and wet AMD?

People with either form of AMD may find spoken reading or description useful. Suitability depends on their tasks and device. Lumyeye Pro does not treat AMD, restore vision or guarantee independence.

Is Lumyeye Pro suitable for seniors?

Lumyeye Pro offers voice interaction and onboarding, with screen-reader support. Try the controls with the person who will use the app; accessibility needs differ.

Does Lumyeye Pro replace an optometrist or ophthalmologist?

No. Lumyeye Pro is a daily autonomy tool, not a treatment. Keep up your medical follow-up (anti-VEGF injections for wet AMD, OCT scans, vision rehabilitation). Lumyeye Pro comes in as a complement, for the everyday gestures that the retina no longer allows.
