vision impairment

Vision impairment refers to reduced ability to see clearly, which can range from mild difficulty to complete blindness. It includes conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. These issues may result from problems with the eyes themselves or the brain's processing of visual information. Vision impairment can affect daily activities, mobility, and independence. While some conditions are correctable with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery, others may require assistive devices or adaptations. Proper diagnosis and management can help maximize remaining vision and improve quality of life.
