【About the developer】
The developer is an engineer with retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
This app was created out of frustration at not being able to answer the question, "How do you see?" in words.
Completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases.
Please try it out with your family and friends.
*This app is not a medical diagnosis. The simulation is not a perfect reproduction of how things actually look. Individual differences in vision may occur.
