Simulation goggles

DAAS Vision Simulator Kit (Quote from ad:) "The DAAS Vision Simulator Kit is one of the most useful tools available to vision nurses, mobility instructors, rehabilitation specialists, itinerant and in-class teachers for helping sighted individuals learn about vision loss. Developed by professionals in the vision rehabilitation field, the DAAS Vision Simulator Kit consists of a variety of simulator lenses which imitate the most common vision disorders. Thus, sighted people may experience different vision acuities and conditions to develop a better understanding of what a visually challenged person lives with. The educational value of the kit is tremendous. Used in the classroom, at the worksite, in public awareness seminars or in the home, it provides a high impact learning experience.

The DAAS Vision Simulator Kit consists of:

Eight simulator lenses
Two acuity lenses:
1) 20/200
2) 20/400
Five occluder disks (incl. 1 spare)
Four sets of goggles
Two blindfolds
Set of instructions and explanations dealing with the vision disorders imitated by the simulator lenses.
A practical and stylish carrying case with an extra outside pocket for vision aids such as monoculars and magnifiers or white canes."
