Sight2000

Sight2000 is a JavaScript program which I developed so that anyone can appreciate the way I see. Click pictures below to experience the chaos of my vision with little spots like snow appearing across everything that I see.

More distortions...

	Everything I see is distorted by varying amounts.
	Stripy or spotty patterns move around violently
	My vision is worse when my eyes are tired
	Going to new places is disorientating & tiring
	In 'My World is not Your World' I describe how these sight distortions affected my life and how hard it was coping when nobody knew that anything was wrong with my vision. Bad?, Mad?, Slow?, Strange?

...written for all the children and adults suffering
from and working with those who
suffer from similar problems...
