CREATE YOUR OWN
SIMULATION GOGGLES OR MASKS
| Field |
If
you have Goggles do this: |
If
you are using a Mask do this: |
|
1. Tunnel Vision
|
Paint all of the clear part black except
for a tiny hole or spot at the center of each eye piece.
You should be able to see through those two points.
|
Start with a total blind mask. Use a pin
to poke a small hole (paper punch for larger hole) in the
middle of each eye piece. You should be able to see
through both points.

VISUAL LOSS

2. Other
|
Use paint to block out vision in any area
of the clear part of the clear part of the goggle(s).
Below are the diagrams of a few examples:
|
Start with total blindfolds. You can
obtain the same field losses as those diagrammed on the
left by cutting out areas that correspond with the open
areas on the diagrams.

MASKS |
|
1. Totally Blind
|
Paint clear glass or plastic part black.
|
Leave as is.
|
|
2. Light Perception
|
Cover clear area with glue, tape, or
saran wrap until all you see through it is diffused light.
|
Cut large hole front of each eye. Cover
the holes with saran wrap or wax paper cut to fit over
the hole. Use tape or glue around the edges.
|
|
3. Gross color and form
|
Cover clear area repeatedly with clear
tape or wrap.
|
Cut large holes and cover repeatedly with
clear tape or wrap.
|
|
4. Specific Acuities such as: 20/70, 20/200,
etc.
|
Put an acuity chart 20 feet from you. If
you want a 20/200 simulator, cover the clear part with
tape or wrap until you can only read the 20/200 line.
Same would go for 20/70m 20/100, etc.
|
Do the same with the chart as described
on the left. Cover the cut holes with clear tape or wrap
repeatedly (layer after layer) until you have blurred
vision so taht you can at best read the line you want to
simulate.
