Blind Woman Sees Her Baby For The First Time In Seriously Heartwarming Video, Kathy Beitz was loaned a pair of glasses by the eSight corporation so that she could see her son on the day he was born.

Beitz was wearing eSight Glasses, which are essentially a huge pair of goggles fitted with a camera and video screens. For the wearer, they enhance images to the eye by delivering more information to the cells.
“We’re then able to enhance it in certain ways that make an image that someone who is legally blind is better able to see,” eSight representative Taylor West told Canada’s CTV News.
Beitz has Stargardt disease and can’t see clearly.
“I don’t get to see people’s expressions,” she said. “Definition is a big part of my disease.”
Because of the glasses, Beitz was able to see more than just the expressions on her baby’s face. She could even point out his “long toes.”
“Even to look at my husband looking at him was such a good feeling,” she said. “I got to fall in love with him.”
