Blind Woman Sees Her Son for the First Time
Computerized glasses developed by an Ottawa company are causing
a worldwide sensation thanks to a YouTube video of a legally blind woman in
Guelph, Ont., who donned the goggle-like spectacles to gaze in wonder at her
newborn son.
The video of 29-year-old Kathy Beitz wearing eSight’s glasses in her hospital bed has attracted more than 3 million views since it was posted on YouTube on Jan. 21 by her sister, Yvonne Felix. Both have a degenerative eye condition called Stargardt’s disease and have only about two per cent of full sight.

eSight, which has research and production facilities in Kanata,
began researching the computerized glasses about eight years ago. Commercial
production began in the fall of 2013. About 140 people currently use the
glasses, which sell for $15,000.
Beitz, who has been legally blind since age 11, has 20/400
vision, meaning she can barely read the largest “E” on an eye chart. Because of
macular degeneration, she also has large blind spots that obliterate most of
her vision. But after donning eSight’s glasses, her vision has been tested at
20/20.
