GLASSES for Android

It doesn’t Zoom, but with 3 levels of magnification I don’t miss zoom at all. Clear images, easy to use. What’s not to like?

I’ve been extremely nearsighted since I was a kid; I crossed the line for “legally blind” a long time ago. Since it’s correctable with glasses or contacts, it doesn't usually impact life very much, but there are rare moments that leave me feeling, well, blind. These are times like when I set my glasses on the nightstand and hear them fall off and bounce under the bed. When I hear a noise in the night and reach for my glasses, only to knock them halfway across the room. When I drop a contact lens and can’t find it where it should have landed. The Glasses app is perfect in these situations. Instant visual acuity, and one-tap illumination. While you can achieve a similar effect with the built-in Camera app, it’s a multi-step process. Although that might sound like a minor inconvenience, it seems like an eternity when I’m feeling handicapped and vulnerable. To me, being able to avoid that feeling is worth far more than the price of this app.
