This interactive simulator reproduces the world as seen through the eyes of individuals with age-related eye conditions, offering a deeper understanding of what it means to live with visual impairment.

See the World Through Different Eyes
Age-related visual impairments such as glaucoma and cataracts affect millions of people worldwide. Yet, the true nature of these conditions is often hard to convey to those without lived experience. This simulator allows users to simulate various symptoms—including loss of peripheral vision (glaucoma) and blurred or glaring vision (cataracts)—by adjusting severity levels, helping users grasp how vision deteriorates over time.
*Note: The progression of symptoms is modeled in a forward direction only; reversing symptom severity is not supported, as both glaucoma and cataracts are progressive and irreversible in nature.*

Looking Ahead
We are currently working on refining the glaucoma model to more accurately reflect how vision deteriorates from the periphery inward. Future improvements will focus on greater realism in symptom progression, aiming to support more effective educational use in accessibility and elder care contexts.
