As I See It
As I See It
Experience what it's like to live with visual impairments through real-time camera filters. Helping to build empathy, understanding, and awareness for billions living with vision conditions.
Point your camera at the world and see it through different eyes. Our filters simulate real visual conditions to build understanding and empathy.
Apply visual impairment simulations to your live camera feed instantly. See what others see in real-time.
Each filter includes educational information about the condition, its prevalence, and how it affects daily life.
Perfect for educators, designers, caregivers, and anyone wanting to better understand visual impairments.
Explore different visual conditions through simulated experiences. This is a work in progress - we're always adding more conditions based on your feedback.
A genetic condition causing progressive tunnel vision and night blindness. Peripheral vision slowly deteriorates, leaving only a small central field of view. Affects approximately 1 in 4,000 people worldwide.
The most common form of inherited juvenile macular degeneration. Causes progressive central vision loss beginning in childhood or adolescence, while peripheral vision typically remains intact.
A rare inherited condition causing complete color blindness, extreme light sensitivity, and reduced visual acuity. People with achromatopsia see the world in shades of gray and often struggle in bright light.
A diabetes complication affecting blood vessels in the retina. Causes dark spots, floaters, blurred vision, and can lead to blindness if untreated. Affects over 103 million adults globally.
The leading cause of vision loss in people over 50. Causes central vision loss and distortion, making it difficult to read, recognize faces, and see fine details. Affects 196 million people globally.
Often called "the silent thief of sight," glaucoma gradually damages the optic nerve, causing progressive peripheral vision loss. Without treatment, it can lead to tunnel vision and blindness. Affects 80 million people worldwide.

We built As I See It with privacy as a core principle. Here's our commitment to you.
As I See It is a work in progress, and we need your help to make it better. Want us to add a specific visual condition? Have ideas to improve the simulations? Using the app for education or accessibility work? We'd love to hear from you.
