Vision assistance apparatus and associated systems and methods

A vision assistance apparatus comprising:

• a frame;
• a first optical element coupled to the frame in a first location proximate to a location of an impaired eye of a user when wearing the vision assistance apparatus, the first optical element being configured to capture an image at the first location from a first perspective;
• a second optical element coupled to the frame in a second location proximate to a location of a healthy eye of the user when wearing the vision assistance apparatus, the second optical element being configured to optically translate the image captured by the first optical element at the first location from the first perspective to a first portion of the second optical element viewable in a first portion of the user's vision from their healthy eye, the second optical element being further configured to provide an image captured from the perspective of a user's healthy eye on a second portion of the second optical element, the second portion of the second optical element being laterally adjacent to the first portion of the second optical element, the second portion being viewable in a second portion of the user's vision from their healthy eye, such that the first portion of the second optical element and the second portion of the second optical element are simultaneously viewable by the user's healthy eye.
