## Description

Point your camera at someone you love and see them as 1 in 30 people see the world. 12 eye conditions, simulated live. Built by a 16-year-old losing his own sight.

Experience vision loss through 12 eye condition simulations using your iPhone camera. See the world as someone with Retinitis Pigmentosa, Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, or Macular Degeneration would see it, in real time, with adjustable severity. Build empathy, train caregivers, educate families, or understand your own diagnosis.

Created by a 16-year-old living with Retinitis Pigmentosa, As I See It brings authentic understanding to vision impairment. This isn't a generic filter app. It's a respectful, medically informed tool designed to foster empathy and awareness.

Point your camera at anything, a face, a street sign, a menu, your living room, and instantly see how it appears through the eyes of someone with vision loss. Adjust the severity slider to experience early, moderate, and advanced stages of each condition.
