EScoop lenses

Revolutionary lenses that can improve vision for people suffering from both Wet and Dry AMD, as well as diabetic retinopathy (RP) and glaucoma.

What are they?

Wet and Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration are conditions that affect the macular area of your retina (the bit at the back your eye that receives light and sends electrical impulses to the optic nerve).  The damage can cause vision loss, typically in the centre of your vision – exactly where you are focusing.  This can severely impact on your quality of life. 

E-scoop lenses provide an innovative solution to this; they effectively change the angle at which light enters eye, so it is focused on a healthy bit of your retina. This won’t remove the blurred or blacked-out area of your vision, but it can move it to a non-central part of your field of vision, significantly improving your eyesight and your ability to continue doing everyday tasks, such as reading.

These benefits can also improve the vision of patients with glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.

Why you should

E-scoop lenses have a number of features that can make them the right solution for some patients with AMD, glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy:

• E-scoop spectacles: E-scoop lenses fitted in a full-rimmed spectacle frame.
• Clip-on options: Use them with your prescription glasses as and when you need to.
• Improved contrast: Yellow colour-option to improve contrast (the lenses also come in clear and brown).
• Reduced sensitivity: For day and sunlight.
• Help with glare: Anti-reflection coating.
• Distance magnification: Curved lenses to increase distance magnification by 6%.

Testimonial

"The very first thing I noticed was no hard sell.  My mother has macular degeneration and we went to enquire about the E-Scoop lenses. If anyone has this condition, please go along for a demonstration. My mother was overwhelmed with the results when these were fitted to her existing glasses and raised her vision from 5/10 to 8/10. I only hope that eventually every optician and consultant will advise patients that this is available at reasonable cost and could, in most cases, increase vision for people with this disease."
