General information
What is Luna Glass?
Luna Glass is a pair of night vision glasses that amplify light in the environment. It works through a night vision camera embedded in the frame. Images from the camera are enhanced, increasing contrast, brightness and color, after which they are displayed in the lenses of the glasses.
For whom is Luna Glass effective?
Luna Glass is effective for people who have a lot of difficulty seeing in low light conditions. Currently, it does not help normally sighted people improve their night vision. To use Luna Glass effectively, users need to have some remaining functional central vision. Thus far we have found the following:
- People with a small visual field can use Luna Glass effectively;
- People with a visual acuity below 0.1 (20/200) have trouble using the glasses effectively.
- People who have a large blind spot in the center of their vision have trouble using the glasses effectively.
For what eye diseases does Luna Glass work?
Luna Glass is effective for people who are night blind. In our clinical studies thus far, we found the glasses to be effective for people with the following eye diseases:
- Congenitally Stationary Night Blindness (CSNB);
- Glaucoma;
- Macular Degeneration (MD)
- Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)
- Usher Syndrome;
- Toxoplasmosis.
We also had some cases of people with other eye diseases like Macular Degeneration (MD) trying the glasses and finding them very effective. However, further testing is needed to validate these results with a larger group of people.
Can Luna Glass help individuals with limited visual fields?
Luna Glass is very effective for people with peripheral field loss like tunnel vision. The glasses provide night vision across a field of view of 45 degrees (diagonally measured). For people with a large central scotoma (blind spot) the glasses will be less effective because the night vision is provided in the center of the visual field.
What is it like to see with Luna Glass?
While wearing Luna Glass, you see a large screen floating in front of you. On this screen you see the environment light up in color like it is daytime. The screen does not cover your full visual field.
Can I use Luna Glass to help with daytime vision?
Luna Glass is designed to support night vision. However, during testing, we found some users also find the glasses effective with daytime vision since they increase color and contrast.
Does Luna Glass help with nighttime driving?
This version of Luna Glass is not suitable for driving.
Features and specifications
Is Luna Glass available in multiple sizes (for example, a model for kids)?
Luna Glass is currently available in only one size, which unfortunately does not fit everyone. Because head shapes and sizes vary widely, we have found that the current model is often too large for certain groups, including children under 16. We are actively miniaturizing the technology to create smaller versions of the glasses, and we expect these new models to become available toward the end of 2026.
What is the battery life of Luna Glass?
The glasses have a battery life of 1 hour. If you want to use them for longer, no problem. You can connect the glasses using a USB cable to most power banks and use them while they are charging. A small power bank will provide approximately 8 hours of battery life. Some newer smartphones can also be used to power and charge the glasses.
Do I need an internet connection while using Luna Glass?
No, everything you need is integrated into the glasses.
How is my privacy protected using Luna Glass?
Privacy protection was a core consideration throughout our design process. Luna Glass cannot record, store, or transmit photos or videos. Camera images are displayed only as a live video feed to the user and are immediately deleted.
I have prescription lenses. How does that work while using Luna Glass?
The glasses come with special lens holders that attach to the device and hold prescription lenses. Your optician can fit lenses into the holder, after which you can simply click them into Luna Glass. People who wear contact lenses can use Luna Glasses without lens holders.
Is Luna Glass a pair of glasses I wear all day?
We recommend using Luna Glass only situationally, similar to how people use reading glasses.
Availability
Where can I try Luna Glass in person?
We announce all upcoming events, trials and other opportunities to try the glasses in person through our newsletter and social media channels.
Where is Luna Glass available?
At this stage, Luna Glass is compliant with CE and FCC standards and available through our early adopter program in the EU, UK and USA. We plan to expand availability to additional regions in the future.
Do the glasses come with a warranty?
Luna Glass has a two-year warranty. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and hardware failure under normal usage described in the manual. It does not cover normal wear and tear, damage caused by misuse, drops, liquids, or unauthorized repairs.
