Eyesight Simulator — See How Vision Correction Could Look

Pick a prescription and slide to see how laser vision correction could transform 4 everyday scenes.

Reviewed by Dr. Roxanna Gangi, Optometrist

What this test measures

A visual approximation of how uncorrected refractive errors blur everyday scenes — and how restoring focus with glasses, contacts or laser vision correction could sharpen what you see.

Why it matters

Many people don't realise how much clearer the world can look until they compare side-by-side. This simulator helps you imagine the difference before booking an in-person assessment.

Who may benefit

Anyone considering glasses, contact lenses, or LASIK/PRK refractive surgery, and anyone curious about how their prescription affects daily life.

Curious whether you'd be a candidate for LASIK or PRK? Start with our free candidacy assessment, reviewed personally by Dr. Roxanna Gangi, Optometrist.

Disclaimer: This online eyesight simulator is for educational and informational purposes only. It does not diagnose eye disease, measure your prescription, or replace a comprehensive eye examination. Screen brightness, device quality, lighting, viewing distance and concentration can all affect results. If you experience sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, flashes of light, trauma, or other urgent symptoms, seek immediate medical attention, or book a comprehensive eye exam or professional consultation with Dr. Roxanna Gangi, Optometrist.

How to take this test

  1. Pick a scene — summit, skiing, glacier, or ski lift.
  2. Pick a prescription strength that's close to yours.
  3. Move the slider from "Without correction" to "With correction" to see the change.
  4. Try every scene — distance and night views are the most dramatic.

Take the test

Pick a scene and a prescription, then slide between blurred and corrected vision to see the difference.
