I did a trial and wasn’t exactly blown away. Not to mention there are similar products that cost much, much less.

Nothing to lose by giving it a try, but I would talk to whoever is managing your godson’s case and see if they can get you in contact with some other vendors. He might find something that works even better.

What you're talking about is a video magnification device that is worn kind of like glasses.

If your godson truly has no remaining vision (and is completely blind in his remaining eye) then no magnification device will be able to give him any amount of vision at all.

I was going to go through with the trial until I found out the costs :( its a lot of money. There are other options out there and people r often developing new tech. I'd rather pay the money to a company that puts the money back into research. Just my opinion though :)

Can’t speak for OP, but was told about $10,000. That was a couple years ago however.
