Illegibility of Visual Impairments

Illegibility of visual impairments refers to difficulties in reading or recognizing text and images clearly due to impaired vision. This can occur because of issues such as blurred vision, reduced contrast sensitivity, or visual distortions, making it hard for individuals to distinguish letters, numbers, or symbols. As a result, written information becomes hard to decipher, impacting daily tasks like reading signs, labels, or screens. Understanding these challenges highlights the importance of accessible design and accommodations to support those with varying degrees of visual impairment.
