Eschenbach Max TV Glasses 2.1X Magnification for Clear Distance Viewing - Perfect for Watching TV, Movies, and Sports from the Couch or Bed

Bought these glasses for my 85 yr old mother who is going blind from Age Related Macular Degeneration (and years of smoking before quitting at the age of 50) What a game changer for her! These Weird looking glasses focus her peripheral vision to the center visual field to enable her to watch television and recognize faces and see detail that was previously lost. They are not good for reading ( sadly , not much can be done for that) or walking around. But they have truly improved her quality of life. After many years of seeing vision specialists it was a general optometrist who recommended them. I have been telling her ophthalmologists and retinal specialists and even Helen Keller Services about these glasses and it seems to be news to them. Weird, since we live in a heavily saturated Healthcare region in a major metro area. Although they are made of plastic and will probably not be very durable, they are well worth the $200 cost. One of the best vision aids I have ever come across. So happy, that I could bring a little joy into my Mom's life...even if she does look like 'Buck Rogers' with them on.
