Vision Simulator
See how eye conditions change your vision.
Choose a condition and move the slider to see how it can affect what you see, from early to advanced. Many of these conditions start without symptoms, which is why a regular comprehensive eye exam matters.

What this simulator can and can’t show
These pictures are simplified illustrations. Every person’s vision changes differently, and two people with the same diagnosis can see very differently. Sudden changes, such as a curtain over your vision, new flashes or floaters, or sudden blur, need a same-day visit. Call us right away.
Common questions
Can I tell if I have glaucoma from my vision?
Usually not early on. Glaucoma takes side vision slowly, and the brain fills in the gaps, so most people don’t notice until it is advanced. A comprehensive eye exam with eye pressure and a visual field test finds it early.
Do cataracts need surgery right away?
No. Many cataracts are monitored for years. Surgery is considered when blur and glare get in the way of daily life, such as driving at night. We monitor cataracts and coordinate surgery with a surgeon when it’s time.
Can glasses help with macular degeneration?
Glasses can’t repair the macula, but a careful prescription, sometimes with magnification or prism, can help make the most of the vision you have. Dr. Tumolo sees many of these patients at our Odessa and East Lake offices.
