Visual impairment simulator app

This is pretty damn awsome, although I'm a little disappointed that it doesn't throw in the occasional random hallucination like I use to experience, because having black dogs, little brown twisty gnomy people, and floating trees at the edge of your vision will really keep you alert.

I tried it out. Cool and scary!

Several of the simulated impairments do list "Hallucinatory Images" as a symptom, and if you click on that, it gives you a little description, including mentioning Charles Bonnet Syndrome. Sadly, it doesn't seem to actually simulate that part.
