For the past several years IrisVision has been championing the mission to deliver innovative and affordable Low Vision Glasses at the intersection of digital health and vision science.
The award-winning low vision solution in a light weight design is IrisVision Ultra — wearable electronic Low Vision Glasses you can keep on. Ultra weighs just 230 g, runs up to 10 hours on a charge, and keeps every control on the glasses. Iris, our AI platform, comes built in.
Thousands of lives, including Ronald’s, have been changed with IrisVision:
“I started living in a fog and progressively it got worse. It brought a lot of depression. I finally found a doctor, he took pictures of my eyes and said they couldn’t help me. I had a full life before my eyes really got bad.
My son started searching on the internet for something that could help me. He got a hold of IrisVision, he said, “dad I think I found something that might help you.” I went in to test it, I put it on and there was no fog anymore!
With IrisVision, I feel like my old self again” — Ronald
That mission now includes a lighter pair people can wear and walk around in: IrisVision Ultra, the next generation of Inspire. Vista remains IrisVision’s most capable headset, for people who need the strongest zoom and a viewport they size to their vision.
Introducing IrisVision Ultra
Ultra is made to be worn, not just tried on. It sits light on your face, lasts through a long day, and puts the controls right on the frame.
- 230 g — our lightest Low Vision Glasses yet
- Up to 10 hours of battery (varies with settings and use)
- Up to 10× magnification, with autofocus for near, intermediate, and distance
- Tactile buttons on the glasses — navigate, zoom, and change the view by touch
- Iris included — voice, reading aloud, and 14 languages
Ultra is for people living with macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, Stargardt disease, retinitis pigmentosa, ocular albinism, optic neuropathy, optic atrophy, and other low vision conditions who want smart glasses for low vision they can keep on.
Wear it all day. Walk around with it.
Comfort is the point. At 230 g, Ultra is light enough to keep on from the morning paper to the evening news. Autofocus holds the view. Magnification goes up to 10×. Iris adjusts it when you ask.
These are low vision aids you wear — not a headset you sit down with. Scene, Reading, Television, and other camera modes change the live view. Movies, Books, Games, YouTube, and Photo Gallery are time in the glasses. Ask Iris to switch.
Controls you can feel
Ultra has tactile buttons right on the glasses. Find them by touch to navigate, zoom in or out (up to 10×), and change the view — with nothing extra to hold or lose. Use the buttons or ask Iris. Both change the same view.
Pricing and support
See IrisVision pricing for Ultra and Vista, including financing. Every pair of IrisVision Ultra Low Vision Glasses includes one coaching session by audio or video at home. A sighted helper is highly recommended. U.S. customers may return a new device within 30 days of ship date (a restocking fee applies).

IrisVision technology grew from research funded by the National Eye Institute and was clinically evaluated at Johns Hopkins and the University of Colorado / UCHealth. Studies to date are of the original IrisVision platform, not Ultra.
