Congratulations on your purchase of the Mercury Vision!
We created this remarkable product by combining advanced
state-of-the-art high quality materials with our custom
developed software to produce an unprecedented and
unparalleled visual sensory experience.
Weighing a little over one pound, your Mercury Vision is
lightweight and may be comfortably worn for extended
periods of time. We immerse your vision, eliminate external
glare, and compound your periphery field of view.
We did not stop there. We raised the bar even further
providing you the benefit of hearing print read aloud. This
results in reduced eyestrain and provides for quicker
comprehension. You can use your Mercury Vision to watch
television, theatre, sporting events, museums, cruises,
safaris, your family, work on art projects, distance tasks,
menus, signs, computer screens, tablets, smart phones, and
more. Imagine the possibilities!

the elastic straps and adjust them using the velcro tabs,
making sure it is comfortably snug on your face and
evenly balanced on the top of your head and sides.
