Cataract Simulation (Blur + Glare)

Cataracts can cause blurred vision, reduced contrast, and strong glare around lights. This page simulates that effect.

This is an empathy demo, not a medical tool.

Task: Click the “LIFT” sign.

Score: 0 | Mistakes: 0

Tip: Increase severity to feel how glare + blur makes even simple reading harder.

What cataracts can feel like

  • Blurred or cloudy vision
  • Halos and glare from bright lights
  • Reduced contrast (everything looks “washed out”)
  • Harder reading, especially at night
