I really wish this app worked
I was born with a cataract in my right eye, and I just recently heard about this app that can show people what it’s like to look at something with my vision but every time I take a pic the app just closes.
VisionSim by Braille Institute
Published by: Braille Institute
Description
Braille Institute's VisionSim (v3.0) app for iPhone and iPad was developed to allow people with healthy vision to see the world through the eyes of a person experiencing one of nine degenerative eye diseases. The eye diseases that are simulated are: age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, chronic open-angle glaucoma, corneal edema, diabetic retinopathy, homonymous hemianopia, macular degeneration, retinal detachment, retinitis pigmentosa.
The application uses the camera in the iPhone or iPad along with digital filters to allow the user to experience the symptoms of a particular disease. Using sliding touch-screen controls, the user can manipulate the severity of the symptoms. Still images from the simulations can be saved by the user and stored or shared.
(Note: iOS version 6+ users - In order to save your VisionSim 'simulator' images, you must go to SETTINGS > PRIVACY > PHOTOS > turn VisionSim 'ON')
The application also provides detailed information about each of the eye diseases including associated visual phenomenon, symptoms, causes and treatments. The user can also access Braille Institute's website or contact Braille Institute directly via email for more information.
This application was designed to foster understanding and compassion for the millions of people affected by these eye conditions.

VisionSim by Braille Institute Reviews
Love this but there could be better changes
When you reverse the contrast on the app it doesn’t show the whole app in reverse contrast, only the settings page. Also when you click more info on any eye disease it doesn’t say anything besides the whole Lorem ipsum dolor thing. However I am so happy I found this app I’ve had it awhile ago and I missed having it.
App needs update!
The app doesn’t currently work with iOS 11! Sadly until it is updated most of us can not open the app. Please update this wonderful educational tool!
Fabulous app
I love using this app to quickly illustrate how a patient sees. A "real eye opener " for family members
What happened
This used to be a fantastic app but it needs to be updated. The app worked fine on my previous iPhones but I recently got an iPhone 6 and all the app produces now is a red target circle. It worked spectacularly on my previous iPhones so my disappointment is acute now.
Doesn't simulate
I'm using an iPhone 6, it doesn't simulate anything in any mode I tried.
poor implementation
Great idea, good functionalities with poor implementation that consumes device's memory. I've never faced such memory consumption from any other application!
Fantastic educational tool!
"What can you see?" Is a question I'm asked on a daily basis, due to working in a public place with a guide dog. "There's an app for that!", breaks the ice and educates others about my retinitis pigmentosa in an amazing way. The app works flawlessly on my 5s. Thanks to the VisionSim team for an app that helps others grasp a difficult concept and how much impact vision loss can have. kudos!
to merangell
the red circle can be turned off in the settings. its there to indicate where your vision would be affected
Did not work
Was hoping to get a glimpse of how a family member sees with macular degeneration. Photo simply shows a red circle at the very center. I am using this with an iPhone 5s. Perhaps there needs to be an update?
