EyeFine – New Autofocus Telescopic Eyeware

EyeFINE is a revolutionary new Low Vision aid. It is an auto focus telescopic system that merges both passive auto focus and active infrared auto focus technology to aid patients with vision loss.

With EyeFINE, many Low Vision patients can read, watch TV, view their computer screens, watch sporting events or religious services and do many other things. EyeFINE’s auto focus technology will instantly focus wherever the patient looks. The wider field, bright image and instant focus make EyeFINE easy to use. Developed at Japan’s Miyazaki Eye Hospital, it works on the same principle as an autofocus digital camera.

The key features of this system include the very wide, bright visual field and the automatic focus at any distance from 12 inches to infinity with both passive and active focus. Passive focus even allows EyeFINE to focus through the windshield of a car.

It sells for $2,200. Ocutech’s VES-Autofocus retails for $4,000.
