Cataract - how Lumyeye helps.
Cataract turns vision into permanent fog. Whether you are waiting for surgery, cannot have it, or have residual loss after surgery, Lumyeye reads and describes in voice. iPhone and Android, from $15/month.
Understanding cataract
Daily symptoms.
Cataract is the clouding of the natural lens. Most often age-related, more rarely congenital or post-traumatic. Surgery (lens replacement) cures it; while waiting, daily life can become very difficult.
Foggy vision
Everything looks like behind dirty glass. The details blur, contrast collapses.
Glare
Sun, car headlights, neon lights become blinding. Driving at night becomes impossible.
Yellowed colors
Whites turn yellow, colors fade. A white sheet of paper looks beige.
Trouble reading
Small print is unreadable. Reading a label, a pill bottle, a recipe becomes a long ordeal.

FAQ
About cataract and Lumyeye.
Can Lumyeye help with cataract?+
Yes. Before surgery the eye sees through a foggy filter; Lumyeye reads, describes and identifies vocally. After surgery the app stays useful when there is also AMD or glaucoma.
Is Lumyeye useful before surgery?+
Yes, especially when surgery is delayed or impossible (medical contraindication). Lumyeye compensates for the fog.
Does Lumyeye replace surgery?+
No. Cataract surgery remains the only real cure. Lumyeye is a complement during the waiting period or in case of residual loss.
