Does Lumyeye work for tunnel vision?

Yes. The app is fully voice-driven and works without needing the user to focus on the screen, which makes it perfectly suited to severe field constriction.

Glaucoma - how Lumyeye helps.

Glaucoma narrows the visual field down to a tunnel. Lumyeye replaces sight with voice: the app reads, describes, identifies, navigates - so you can keep moving around with confidence. iPhone and Android, from $15/month.

Understanding glaucoma

Daily symptoms.

Glaucoma damages the optic nerve, most often through elevated eye pressure. It progressively destroys peripheral vision, ending in tunnel vision and sometimes blindness. The two main forms are open-angle (slow, silent) and closed-angle (fast, an emergency).

Tunnel vision

The field of view shrinks. You see what's in front of you, but the sides and corners disappear.

Bumping into things

Door frames, chairs, low tables: invisible at the edges, you hit them constantly.

Slow reading

To finish a sentence you must scan it letter by letter through the narrow remaining field.

Hard to move around

Stairs, sidewalks, crowded streets become risky because obstacles appear only at the last moment.
