IMPAIRED VISUAL ACUITY

VISION CORRECT

OBJECTIVE

The world seen through the eyes of people with visual disabilities

People with visual impairments struggle every day with barriers that are invisible to most of us. Inadequate infrastructure, lack of contrast, illegible markings – these are just some of the challenges that make it difficult for them to move around in public spaces.

Our simulator allows you to see the world through their eyes and better understand how to design a space that is accessible to everyone.

Monochromatism (achromatopsia)

Complete inability to distinguish colors. A congenital disease that involves having a minimal amount or complete lack of cones (they are responsible for color vision, as well as sharp vision) on the retina of the eye.

Daltonism

Hereditary disorder of color discrimination of the red-green axis. is a type of vision defect and is not the same as total color blindness (Monochromatism). Color vision disorders in the simulator are presented by images lacking some of the colors in the presented world.

Myopia

A visual defect that involves improper focusing of the rays by the optical system of the eye. The result is a blurry image. In the simulator, the blurry effect is similar to the effect caused by Cataract.

Retinitis pigmentosa

Hereditary disease leading to the atrophy of retinal cells. It means rod-cone dystrophy, caused by the deposition of pigment in the retina and a disturbance of the circulation in the retina, causing deterioration of vision. Symptoms include:

deterioration of vision in the dark
tunnel vision
cystoid macular edema
myopia
changes in the vitreous humor

Stargardt Syndrome (Macular Degeneration Type 1)

A rare, hereditary eye disease that leads to progressive deterioration of vision. Symptoms of the disease include disturbances and even loss of central vision, which manifests itself as difficulty distinguishing details, decreased visual acuity, distortion of images, and the formation of dark spots in the central field of vision.

Cataract

Progressive clouding of the lens of the eye. The result is deterioration of vision.

Diabetic retinopathy

Powikłanie cukrzycy, w którym zmiany dotykają siatkówkę i naczynia krwionośne znajdujące się na dnie oka. Dochodzi do osłabienia i rozszczelnienia naczyń krwionośnych co powoduje powstawanie mikro tętniaków, krwotoków, wysięków oraz obrzęków. Objawy to pogorszenie widzenia centralnego, nadwrażliwość na światło, mgiełki oraz mroczki w polu widzenia.

Architects and developers

Also for designers and people responsible for accessibility in urban spaces.

Universities and schools

Wanting to use modern and effective educational tools for their students.

Organizations and companies

Communities that want to better understand the needs of people with visual disabilities.
