Low vision is an umbrella term for other pervasive issues like blur (low acuity), glare, contrast loss, etc. So, I think Contrast loss would be more clear.

> The problem with eye vs. crossed-out eye is that it could be a bit confusing which one means "eye with impaired vision." Maybe there's some other way to indicate normal vision vs simulated vision (beyond the color change)? So that the regular eye is normal vision, and eye with (some graphical indicator) is simulated vision.

I agree that the crossed-out eye may be confused with eye with impaired vision. Another thing is that the eye icon may already specify "vision" simulations, which is not really the case as we are planning to have other options in this menu in the future such as reduced motion simulation. For now, why don't we just keep the same icon for both simulation and no simulation cases, and only change the text instead? May I suggest a VR glasses icon instead? I'm also fine with sticking to just the open eye.

This is a great suggestion since only changing the icon color presents accessibility issues! We are experimenting with the wording Simulate/Simulating... What do you think of that?

I have attached updated UI changes for the menu and menu button above. Please give us some feedback :)
