Floater Simulation lets you use your device to show the world your experience with eye floaters. Open the app and tweak the settings to best show your close ones what your every day suffering is like. You can also record a short clip to share on Facebook and the like. Eye floaters are small moving spots that appear in your field of vision. They may be especially noticeable when you look at something bright, such as white paper or a blue sky. Floaters are deposits of various size, shape, consistency, refractive index, and motility within the eye's vitreous humour, which is normally transparent. At a young age, the vitreous is transparent, but as one ages, imperfections gradually develop. The common type of floater, which is present in most persons' eyes, is due to degenerative changes of the vitreous humour.

“See My World Pro”, abbreviated as “SMW Pro” – a special tool for immersing in the world of people with various visual impairments. SMW Pro allows you to not only see the features of the manifestations of eye diseases (as these people see) but also evaluate the degree of restriction that they face in everyday life: what a glass of vine on a table looks like, shelves in a store, school board and much more. SMW Pro includes a set of tools that every ophthalmologist is familiar with (examination tests, grids etc.) this allows you to create the realistic simulations based on the results of clinical examinations of real people. The App has a simple structure include user account, cases (people with visual impairments), simulations with clinical descriptions like in science articles (clinical examinations) and graphic redactor to create the visual symptoms. Moreover, you can create a usable examination test with overlay the degrees grid to draw the visual defects with a 1:1 scale. All online simulations created in SMW Pro have a unique ID that can be used in science articles, presentations and for sending to colleagues. You can personalize SMW-cases using account information and embedding in simulations logo. SMW Pro is another look at the details of visual symptoms of eye diseases and a new way of communication between patient a doctor. --- *Disclaimer: This App is not intended for replacing the advice of a trained medical doctor.
