Hi Caroline,

Sorry but whilst we are aware of them, we don't have any meaningful feedback at present. We did make contact with the company in December 2016 and they explained that they were offering a free 2 week trial.

If you like them they cost £895, or you can pay a deposit of £250 and £30 per month thereafter.

Their contact details are either a mobile phone; 07480 688884 or email, hello@givevision.net

Sorry that we can't be more forthcoming. There are lots of new devices that have come to the market in the last year. We always say 'try before your' buy!

Best wishes

Macular Society

Thanks for the phone number. They said 300 pounds to buy and then 40 pounds a month thereafter for the software! ! So 500 pounds a year to have these even after you buy them! Seemed like a lot .

Thing is they aren't local. So its not as if they have provided all hospital Low vision shops with demos - so that it's possible to try it out. But if a shame
