The Pebble HD video magnifier is designed to enlarge and enhance images to improve the lives of people who have low vision. The extent to which Pebble HD can improve the ability to see images and text depends on a person’s individual condition and level of visual impairment. The Pebble HD is not designed to restore vision, correct eye conditions or halt degenerative vision loss. An eye care professional can best determine the suitability of the Pebble HD for a patient’s specific condition.
