Seeing Through Their Eyes

Since 1979, the Zimmerman Low Vision Simulation Kit has been used by thousands of sighted individuals world wide to gain a better understanding of the functional impact of visual impairment or low vision.

These vision simulators are excellent devices to use when conducting an in-service, workshop, or for demonstration purposes on the topics of visual impairment and low vision.

Who uses the Kit?

University personnel preparation programs, teachers of the visually impaired, orientation & mobility specialists, occupational and physical therapists, optometrists, ophthalmologists, and related healthcare professionals,

The Kit contains goggles and interchangeable visual acuity and visual pathology simulations, as well as peripheral field restriction simulations that allows those who work with individuals who have low vision, to better understand the affect that low vision has on mobility, learning, employment, and activities of daily living.

The lenses and funnels can be used interchangeably with the goggles to create a variety of simulations. An attractive carrying case along with instructions for use is also included. Also visit our activities page for additional suggestions on using the Kit!

The Kit is designed to be used by four individuals at one time. Additional Kits are recommended for larger groups.
