Add CVI and ROP and alphabetize?

Hello,
Thank you for making this well made app. It includes so many common vision conditions.
However some of the leading causes of vision impairment in children is CVI and ROP. Could those be added to this list?

Also could you put the conditions in alphabetical order making it easier for folks to use?

Thank you for your time and consideration

Great app

I have RP, so this is a great app to help explain to people what I can or cannot see in a nutshell. Only thing I wish more for is the floaters and randomness that floats around my constricted vision. But all in all, I use it to help educate others.

Decent start

Glad to find this useful tool for supporting discussions with sighted friends, family and colleagues about sight loss. I have Leber's Congenital Amaurosis. In my case I have complete loss of central vision but have some light perception in the peripheral vision. My understanding is the filter is uniform across the screen. Suggest offering some way to adjust differences in light perception in different parts of the visual field. Some forms of LCA are linked with renal failure.

Helpful educational tool

Iโ€™ve been using the AIRA vision simulator app for about a year. Itโ€™s a great tool to give people an idea of my own vision difficulties, and I also use it when Iโ€™m talking to healthcare professionals to give them an example of what some of their patients experience.

Periphal vision simulation needed

For LHON it simulates the loss of central vision but a sighted person can get a slightly false impression as it does not simulate the lower level of detail or color in peripheral vision .

Would be more realistic if the peripheral image had reduced color, reduced contrast and reduced clarity.

Good start

So as an RP sufferer, it is hard to explain what I DO NOT see and what I DO see. This gives a moderate idea to people and helps shorten my explanation. I do wish the developers add settings for floaters, random strobing lights, and swirling lights as those are all things that are going on at the same time as the restricted peripheral vision.
