OrCam camera device is one of Israel's Top 10 advances in vision. 

Hebrew University Prof. Amnon Shashua created this device that attaches to
eyeglasses and is wired to a portable computer in the wearer's pocket. Using
bone conduction technology, it "speaks" text (menus, street signs, grocery
labels, newspapers) as well as bus numbers and other objects that the user
points to. 

It can even recognize faces and monitor traffic lights.
