Sonar Glasses – Mobility aid for the blind and visually impaired
SONAR GLASSES are designed to increase mobility independence for blind and visually impaired people. They complement the white cane or guide dog by:
• providing information about the location of nearby objects above waist level
• alerting you to potential hazards
• helping to guide your path through streets, parking lots, shopping malls, subways, yards, and tight spaces in your home
SONAR GLASSES technology is based on echolocation, similar to the way bats navigate in the dark. The glasses emit sound waves and measure the time to receive sound reflected by nearby objects. When an object is detected, you are alerted by a subtle vibration in the temple of the glasses.
SONAR GLASSES are:
• available with clear, dark, photosensitive, tinted, or prescription lenses
• built to order, which means that we can accommodate your unique, individual needs and customize the size and color of the lenses, the size of the frame, and the shape of the temples for customers with hearing aids
• a LOW VISION AID for customers with macular degeneration, and we can add prescription lenses, bifocal lenses, or magnifying lenses
The SONAR GLASSES kit costs $375 and includes:
• Clear or Dark lenses with 100% UV Protection
• Ability to change the detection range
• 2 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
• 1 battery charger
• 1 pair of ear locks
• 1 carrying case
• 1 head strap
• 1 cleaning cloth

Tinted lenses
Tinted lenses can help reduce glare, improve contrast, enhance depth perception, and reduce eye fatigue in different environments. Available tints include: Gray, Gray-Green, Amber, Yellow, Blue, and Plum. Polarized and Mirrored lenses are also available.
