Norville adds the E-scoop loupe for AMD patients

Norville Group has introduced the E-scoop, a patented loupe spectacle lens new to the UK and designed for macular degeneration patients.

The company explained that E-scoop had a special curve, thickness, prism, colour and coating which projected light onto a different part of the retina and could improve vision dramatically.

E-scoop lenses can offer partial recovery of a part of the central vision, reduction of the sensitivity for day and sunlight and better recognition of details, contrast and depth, said Norville. Benefits were a more comfortable viewing position and mobility around the home and outdoors.

E-scoop comes in single vision, in a power range +9.00 to -8.00 cyls to 4.00, complete glazed to a full-rim spectacle or as a plano powered clip-on. Trial dispensing sets are available on approval.
