To see through the eyes of who you are designing for is a powerful experience. A simulation was done to understand the importance of universal design throughout commercial spaces. Whether it be a coat of paint to a contrast in color from the wall to the floor, every little bit helps. Contrast in tones and hues is the greatest help to someone who is visually impaired; as well as a well lit area. With well lit areas come considerations of glare and other pains that people with normal 20/20 vision experience. To put oneself in the mind set that what one sees is intensified by someone who is impaired will help put the design into perspective.
