Vision Simulation |
Vision Simulation Vision simulation is mimicking what a person with impaired vision of some sort sees. This allows a person with otherwise perfect vision to view their surroundings as an impaired person sees their world. Vision simulation also works on the flip side, meaning a person with impaired vision would be allowed the opportunity to view the world as a person with perfect vision sees it. The obvious vision simulation device is a pair of eyeglasses. This may seem slightly odd but, eyeglasses simulate how a person with perfect 20/20 vision sees. When the lenses of eyeglasses are manipulated in certain manners they can also be used to simulate the reverse and represent impaired vision. For instance, the lens color can be changed to emulate low light vision or cataract influenced vision. When spots in a lens are blocked out and depending on placements, vision through a person stricken with diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration can be experienced. Using this same thought process in manipulating a lens, it is possible to see what a person experiencing migraine fortification phenomenon sees. One of the common occurrences a person experiences is something called floaters. This is normal and most people see one or a few floaters at any given time. Floaters are more commonly seen when a person is moving their eyes back and forth or looking at a clear blue sky. If a person suddenly sees an abundance of floaters they should consult an eye doctor.
