Macular regeneration




















Time for a little honesty: how long has it been since your last eye exam? Me, too; at least that long. Talk about something easily postponed. But be careful with this one, kids, because some of this bodily stuff can catch up with you. There’s actually a point past which glasses can help, and no one wants to end up there. A friend of mine waited too long, and instead of going without her sight fix, she decided to forge a new path, bless her trailblazing heart.

After some experimentation, she opted for the sturdy compromise offered by the Jakks EyeClops Bionic Eye, a handheld device which magnifies up to 200 times normal size. It plugs into any television jack; whatever’s in front of the eyeclops is displayed on-screen. This little device immediately rectified the situation; she can now see everything she needs to within 10 feet of her television, which is a great start. Coming soon, she hopes: portability.
