Product Information

Cataracts are known to cause reduced vision and disabling glare.  This is particularly significant for older patients driving an automobile at night.

While many methods of glare documentation suffer from inconsistent light intensity and angle, the EpiGlare offers a standardized repeatable approach to measuring and documenting glare disability with best corrected vision.
