Ever wonder what it's like to have vision impairment?

Only the person who is visually impaired or blind really knows what it is like. Each individual’s precise conditions are different. To help family members and friends begin to understand, we pulled data and reporting from current clinical research and built this vision simulator.

20/20 vision is normal vision acuity (the clarity or sharpness of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at a distance.

Wet macular degeneration is a chronic eye disorder that causes blurred vision or a blind spot in your visual field.

The other type — dry macular degeneration — is more common and less severe.
