But does Cyber Eyez really work? Check out some of these testimonials!
Moments after receiving her Cyber Eyez unit, Kim turned on the magnification, looked across the table and could see the face of her friend who she hadn’t seen for more than 15 years. Unable to contain her excitement, she threw her hands in the air and exclaimed, “I CAN SEE!”

“Cyber Eyez is 1,000 times better than eSight, which is more complicated, and you have to have some vision for eSight. With Cyber Eyez, you don’t need to have vision.”
― Carmalita
“This is way better than I actually imagined. Generally, you can get nice stuff for the blind, but on a scale of 1 to 10, it’s maybe a 4 or 4 ½. This is definitely beyond a 10. Truly beyond a 10.”
― Vaughn
“I love these Cyber Eyez! They make things a lot easier for me, and they’re easy to learn and maneuver.”

Cyber Timez and Vuzix have also entered into a partnership with Ability One vendors, Wounded Warrior Program and Minton-Jones Company and received authorization to distribute their Cyber Eyez smart glasses application to American veterans with low vision and blindness in an effort to help them be more independent and re-enter the workforce.
“We are very excited to help our nation’s greatest warriors impacted by low vision and blindness to maintain and regain their independence,” commented Sean Tibbetts, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of CyberTimez. “With Cyber Eyez and the Vuzix M300 smart glasses, we are enhancing our nation’s veterans’ and wounded warriors’ lives and enabling them to resume their daily tasks, find jobs and regain their independence.”
