Helping people with Parkinson's reclaim independence
The Eye Guide MC is a new device invented by a person with Parkinson's, for people with Parkinson's
Introducing the Eye Guide MC
The Eye Guide MC is a new device invented by a person with Parkinson’s, for people with Parkinson’s. It is a simple, wearable aid that, when worn, can gradually improve the quality of life for people with Parkinson’s Disease.
The device sits discreetly over the wearer’s ear, lining up to their visual field. It provides a visual sensory stimulus which can help to improve a person with Parkinson’s balance, walking and tremor.

How it works
- The Eye Guide MC is a simple wearable device that, when worn, can gradually improve the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease (speech, tremor, movement, coordination).
- The Eye Guide MC is worn over the ear, pointing out along the eye line and sites along the meridian line.
- The Guide sits in the peripheral vision, so that the eye only sees the very tip of it.
- This enables the brain to work with the eye, giving new signals to the Basal Ganglia, the part of the brain that controls movement.
Driven to help people with Parkinson’s
Eye Guide MC was created by a person with Parkinson’s, for people with Parkinson’s. Every Parkinson’s person is welcome to talk to us about a fitting.
The device was born out of a very personal Parkinson’s journey. Sandra, the inventor of Eye Guide MC, is in a unique position to understand the needs of people with Parkinson’s and her mission is to improve the lives of those with the condition. She persevered to create a device that will change lives for the better.

Reviews

“Since wearing the device my overall demeanour, posture, coordination, and balance appears much improved. I sense that whilst wearing it I am more in control of my overall mobility and I am not so restless when seated, I am able to stand from the seating position much more easily than previously and the majority of the time, without direct assistance! Fundamentally there appears to be an overall improvement in my Parkinson’s symptoms.”

“I thought the fitting session was extremely well run. The Eye Guide MC was tried on my left side initially but had no noticeable effect. When it was tried on the right side its effect was immediate when it was adjusted to the best position. As I unwound, I became better balanced, and my walking improved almost immediately. I have not used a stick or taken painkillers since that day.
My mood has greatly improved, and I have found my sense of humour, and I take an interest in life much more. It has brought my personality back. We have noticed that if the Eye Guide MC moves, (drops or comes unstuck) when I am wearing it the change in my footfall is quite noticeable and can be restored by a small adjustment.”

“Philip and I would like to thank Sandra, Janette and the team so much for their professionalism, compassion, patience, understanding and care which they displayed when they fitted Philip’s Eye Guide MC device.
Nothing is too much trouble for them and no question goes unanswered. Their attitude extends to the carers too.”
