Retinitis Pigmentosa - how Lumyeye helps.
RP destroys rod cells first, causing night blindness, then tunnel vision. Lumyeye works through the camera and the voice - no need to see the screen, and the LED flash takes over in the dark. iPhone and Android, from $15/month.
Understanding RP
Daily symptoms.
Retinitis pigmentosa is a hereditary disease that destroys the photoreceptors of the retina, starting with rods (night vision) then cones (day and color vision). Usher syndrome combines RP with deafness.
Night blindness
The first symptom: nothing is visible in low light. Going out at dusk becomes impossible.
Tunnel vision
The visual field shrinks year by year. Only a narrow central area is left.
Slow light adaptation
Going from a sunny street into a dim store leaves you blind for a long minute.
Faded colors
As cones degenerate, colors become hard to tell apart and contrast drops.

FAQ
About RP and Lumyeye.
Can Lumyeye help with retinitis pigmentosa?+
Yes. RP causes night blindness and tunnel vision. Lumyeye works in low light because it relies on the camera with flash, and answers vocally - no need to see the screen.
Does Lumyeye work at night?+
Yes. Lumyeye activates the LED flash on demand, and Vision Live (Pro) streams live so you can ask about your surroundings even in dim environments.
Is Lumyeye suitable for Usher syndrome?+
Lumyeye relies on voice. For Usher syndrome users with combined hearing loss, the app must be paired with hearing aids or a cochlear implant; haptics on iPhone can be turned on.
