How does a visually impaired person see the site?

I once saw a site on the net where you could specify a page and see how a person with various visual impairments sees this page (the site seemed to be in English, but definitely not in Russian). Today I started searching and couldn't find it. Maybe someone came across, someone saved it to bookmarks, Share the link, please.

In my past work, I came across visually impaired people, the recommendations for the site are as follows:
1. As little garbage as possible, only important content, in normal sequence
2. The site should be designed in high contrast colors
3. The site should display normally on monitors with a resolution of 800x600, 1024x768 and etc. (even if the monitor is 27" FHD), since the majority of the visually impaired just sets the monitor's resolution to low, and does not resort to constant scaling.
4. The site must be normally swallowed by speech synthesizers, such as JAWS, etc. indexed by tab and had a consistent layout of content.In
general, ideally, such a page would closely resemble an RSS feed page.

If you are for idle curiosity, then xs already.
And if you want to use it in your work, look at some features, then everything is difficult.
Well, I'll start by saying that I also came across this site.
However, as a visually impaired person, I can only say one thing.
This site does not convey how a person sees it. It doesn't even look like it.
As at one time they did a photo shoot in this style, where not a single photo seemed familiar to me)
It is also worth noting that vision is a very unique feature of the body.
Even with the same diagnosis, two different people can have a completely different perception of the world with their eyes.
Plus, the diagnosis itself is of great importance.
Myopia? Farsightedness? Astigmatism? Nystagmus? - This is only part of the list of possible deviations.
And if they are in different combinations and combinations, then nothing will match at all)
And these are only the most common and simple diseases.
There is also a huge bouquet when the color-shape transfer is broken. Under such generally not to make services.
Not a single service or camera can take all this into account.
The visually impaired version is a good example.

How does a visually impaired person see the site?
Badly!!! How exactly? So it depends on the violations. There are a lot of them. Someone is short-sighted, someone is far-sighted, someone is color-blind, and for each deviation from the norm there are degrees + there are other more complex violations + there may be more than one violation. I do not think that any service can convey the correct picture. The main thing is to understand the basic principles. The version for the visually impaired should be contrasting, the fonts are enlarged, as a rule they are made in black and white, but it can also be in color, the main thing is that the text was black on a white background.
Here's the details copied and pasted:
  • It is better to prescribe the font size in relative units - em. That is, in those that are determined by the current context. This allows you to get the correct change of all fonts depending on the scale of the page.
  • Do not forget that people are both nearsighted and farsighted. Therefore, you need to set fonts not only large, but also small.
  • When activating the plugin, it is advisable to immediately turn off all pictures, sliders and other infographics, while leaving the most necessary information.
  • Ask the designer to correctly evaluate how this or that block will look in the version of the site for the visually impaired. For best results, you may need to change something.
  • When setting cookies with data on the plugin, do not forget to write them to the entire site, and not for the current page. This will help to avoid in the future the problem of the version not working on different sections of the site.
