Website Simulates Visual Symptoms

Here's a helpful website that may help you explain your visual symptoms to your eye doctor.

Click here to understand the difference between blur, glare, and ghosting. Many other visual phenomena are demonstrated.

Visitors can adjust the severity of each aberration from mild to wild. This interactive website also exhibits what patients are likely to experience with different eye disorders.

One unexpected feature of this website is a prominent notice on the home page offering to provide (sell) simulations for courtroom use. Hey, everybody has a right to make a living!
