Improving Vision

About this technology

Overview

The JORDYT (Joint Optical Reflective Display) device enables people with low vision to read, write, and watch television. Low vision, which includes macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma, describes eyesight that is 20/70 or worse, and cannot be fully corrected with conventional glasses. JORDY enables people to see using their remaining sight by magnifying objects up to 50 times and allowing them to change contrast, brightness, and display modes, depending on what works best for their low vision condition. With this device, people can see objects at any range, from up close to distant. JORDY functions as a portable display that is worn like a pair of glasses and as a fully functional desktop video magnifier when placed on a docking stand. An eye care professional or low vision specialist can best determine the JORDY's suitability for a patient's individual condition during a routine eye exam. JORDYT is a trademark of Enhanced Vision.
