An eyesight device for the visually impaired comprises a case having a front, rear and side walls. An ultrasonic sensor is provided on at least the front wall although, preferably, ultrasonic sensors are provided on the front and side walls to provide a greater range of peripheral vision. A microcontroller within the case is coupled to the ultrasonic sensor. A power source energizes the microcontroller. An audible signal generating means is adapted to generate an audible signal. The microcontroller is programmed to receive the output of the ultrasonic sensor and computing the distance between the case and an obstacle spaced from the case and energize the audible signal generating means when the distance is less than a preselected threshold distance. Attaching means is provided for attaching the case to an item of clothing of the user to free the hands of the user.
