a means to experience the way people with low vision see.
The way low vision effects sight depends on the eye pathology of the person in question. To help understand the way someone sees with their particular eye condition, we did extensive searches on the web and You Tube for any videos simulating any cause of low vision.
Below are the results of those searches which include simulations of: Macular Degeneration (AMD), Glaucoma, Cataracts, Diabetic Retinopathy, Retinitis Pigmentosa, Glaucoma, Myopia,
Be aware, because the videos are on You Tube, there may be an advertisement playing before the real video starts. You can go to the skip button or just wait for it to end.
