## About

Founded in 2006 by Conrad Lewis and based in Michigan, US, eSight Corp. operates as a developer of electronic eyewear that enables people with central vision loss to see images in real-time. In January 2024, Gentex Corporation acquired eSight Corp. from iGan Partners, LVL1 Group, Fort Point Angels, and MaRS Investment Accelerator Fund.

The company’s primary product, the eSight 4, is a pair of smart glasses that can enhance central vision, often achieving up to 20/20 vision. The eSight 4 utilizes a high-definition camera to capture real-time footage, which is then processed by algorithms and displayed on OLED monitors positioned in front of each eye. This technology maximizes visual information and compensates for vision loss caused by conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and Stargardt’s disease. The firm also offers TeleHealth services for remote consultations and device evaluations, streamlining the process for patients and healthcare providers.
