VISUAL DISORDER ATLAS
Identify and describe vision problems.
Visual Disorder Atlas
The Visual Disorder Atlas can help identify and communicate a perceived visual problem.
There are many kinds of visual symptoms, such as floaters, drifting scenes, and warping, just to mention a few. Some symptoms are quite harmless, while others need to be taken seriously.
Correct interpretation begins with good descriptions, but describing visual symptoms just using words can be difficult. This is where the Visual Disorder Atlas can help.
The Visual Disorder Atlas app, with its image library, enriches the verbal description of a visual symptom. Most of the 40 illustrations are interactive and animated, helping to describe perceived visual symptoms. Correct communication with medical experts is facilitated by the support of an image or animation.
The faster and more precisely the perceived visual symptoms can be described, the faster needed treatment can be started.
Using more than 40 interactive illustrations, visual symptoms can easily be identified, described and communicated, enabling a faster and more accurate diagnosis.
