Augmented Reality(AR) glasses can help people with low vision better navigate their environment as the eye-wearable device managed to enhance mobility and function in patients who have difficulty with peripheral vision or seeing in low light, say researchers.
The research was conducted with patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited degenerative eye disease that results in poor vision.
The team from Keck School of Medicine at University of Southern California (USC) found that adapted AR glasses can improve patients' mobility by 50 per cent and grasp performance by 70 per cent.
“Current wearable low-vision technologies using virtual reality are limited and can be difficult to use or require patients to undergo extensive training,” said Mark Humayun, Professor of Ophthalmology at the Keck School.
