NEW YORK: For some people living with visual impairment, new technology promises to help them see better than ever before.
Seventeen-year-old Justin Crilly is one of those benefiting from eSight — new goggles with a camera inside that can zoom up to 14 times the magnification of normal vision.
When he wears them, he said, for the first time in his life he feels like most other kids.
“I’m able to do a lot more things on my own,” he told CBS News.
When he was just three months old, he suffered a brain injury and his parents were told his vision would never be the same again.
“I worried about what happens when he leaves home,” his mother Stacy Crilly said. “What happens when he goes to college? Is he able to go to college and work independently? Now I don’t have to worry.”
