Let Me Introduce You to My eSight GO Glasses and How They Help Me Live My Best Life
These glasses changed my life, and my online community helped me get them.
These are my eSight GO glasses.
I purchased them in November 2025 with the help of my incredible online community, and now almost seven months later, I use them every single day. They’ve quietly changed the way I move through the world.
I was born with Peter’s Anomaly, which left me with a small amount of usable vision, a hint of blurry image quality, like looking through frosted glass. The eSight GO glasses don’t give me clear vision. What they do is something better. They help me identify the world around me. I can see what my friends and family actually look like. I have a rough idea of what my boxer, Murphy looks like when he’s running at me.
And whenever I want I can look over and see my wife smile.
That alone was worth it. I would post a photo of my wife, but she wishes to stay behind the camera.
The moments that have surprised me most about wearing my glasses so far.
Cutting a steak. I know that sounds small, but I have never in my life been able to cut steak properly on my own. I am almost positive that if you ask anybody in the blind and low vision community, they will tell you that most of them eat steak with their hands because it's just easier. These glasses let me actually see what I’m doing with a knife and fork. That moment of independence at the dinner table? It hit differently than I expected. Side Note, I did not realize how vivid stirfry is. The vegetables pop with color, the sauce makes everything look golden.
Watching live comedy shows. I can sit in the crowd and actually see a comedian’s hands, face, and body. The physical performance that I’ve always been performing myself but could never fully witness from the audience side. example my comedian friend Jesse has this joke about comparing certain drugs to the broccoli bands, I never understood the joke until I was able to actually see him fold his body half ways on stage. Then it made the joke that much better, because I was able to understand it from a visual context point of view.
Attending plays. I can sit in what would normally be the worst seat in the house, zoom in on the stage, and follow along with what the actors are doing. Not perfectly but enough to be in it.
What I haven’t mastered yet but maybe one day in the future.
Reading is still a challenge. I’ve read Braille my entire life, and while I can read normal print fonts slowly with the glasses, anything in script or connected lettering is still a wall for me. Restaurant menus with fancy fonts? Still a guessing game.
Karaoke. I haven’t tried it yet, though honestly, if I’m staring at the screen the whole time, I’m not sure that counts as a performance.
And performing comedy on stage? I still don’t wear them up there. The one time I tried, I started focusing on the people who weren’t laughing, and that is a fast way to ruin your own show. So on stage, I remain the blind comedian. Some things work better in the dark.
Here’s where you come in.

I’ve been performing comedy for almost a decade. My joy has always been sharing laughter. These glasses have given me something new to share, and the joy of actually being able to see the world I’ve been making jokes about.
