Homonym: VI (Six)
VI, or Visual Impairment, refers to a significant loss of vision that cannot be fully corrected with glasses or contact lenses. It encompasses a range of conditions, from partial sight to complete blindness. Individuals with VI may experience difficulties in daily activities, such as reading, recognizing faces, or navigating their environment.
The causes of VI can vary widely, including genetic disorders, eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts, and injuries. Rehabilitation services and assistive technologies, such as braille and screen readers, can help those with VI lead independent lives and improve their quality of life.
