Visual impairment refers to a significant decrease in the ability to see, which cannot be fully corrected with glasses or contact lenses. This condition can range from mild vision loss to complete blindness. It can affect one or both eyes and may result from various causes, including genetic disorders, eye diseases, or injuries.
People with visual impairment may face challenges in daily activities, such as reading, driving, or recognizing faces. However, many adapt using tools and techniques, such as braille, screen readers, or guide dogs, to enhance their independence and quality of life. Support from family, friends, and community resources is also crucial.
