"What is it actually like to have poor vision?" "I want my family to understand what the world looks like when I take my glasses off." The "Vision Impairment Simulator" was created to visualize these differences in perspective. Simply upload a photo, and the tool will simulate the effects of decreased visual acuity. It translates the "blurriness" that is so hard to describe into a clear, visual representation.

Key Uses for This Tool

Fostering Understanding in Others It can be difficult for those with perfect vision to imagine the world of someone with poor eyesight. By showing them an image—"This is how little I can see"—you can use it as a tool to communicate the need for support.

Eye Care Education for Children Show children that "If your eyesight gets worse, your favorite games and views will look like this." It’s a powerful visual aid for teaching healthy eye habits.

Universal Design Testing Use it as a quick test to check the legibility of signs, documents, or website designs. See if your content remains recognizable for people with low visual acuity.

Creative Reference for Media A helpful resource for creators who want to replicate a "character's point of view" in movies or manga, or as a base for artistic editing.
