1. A low-vision aid, comprising:
an elongate housing, including; a plurality of lensed LED lights located in the elongate housing in a substantially horizontal arrangement, the plurality of lights generating a peak intensity of at least 1000 lux; a Fresnel lens with negative focal length, a flat surface of the lens facing into the housing and a ridged surface of the lens facing out of the housing; and at least two clips, each clip comprising a superior region tiltably coupled to the elongate housing, an inferior region configured to attach to an eyeglass frame, an anterior surface and a posterior surface between the superior and inferior regions, wherein the elongate housing protrudes anteriorly to the anterior surface of each clip and the elongate housing is substantially flush with the posterior surface of each clip; and a power pack coupled to the elongate housing by electrical wire; wherein the low-vision aid generates an illumination field comprising a peak intensity, an illumination area that is 40 cm from and perpendicular to the plurality of lights and is no more than 120 cm2, the illumination field comprising a horizontal center line, a vertical center line and a center point at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical center lines, wherein the vertical center line intersects a superior 10% vertical intensity point and an inferior 10% vertical intensity point, and wherein a 50% vertical intensity point of the vertical center line is located at a distance from the closest 10% vertical intensity point that is no greater than the lesser of 1 cm or one-third the distance from the closest 10% vertical intensity point to the center point, and wherein a distance between the superior and inferior 10% vertical intensity points is smaller than a distance between a first and second 10% horizontal intensity points intersecting the horizontal center line. |
