Visual Impairment and Trust Paradox

Visual impairment refers to a condition where a person's ability to see is reduced, affecting their daily activities and independence. The Trust Paradox describes a phenomenon where individuals with visual impairments may develop a strong trust in certain assistive devices or professionals, sometimes leading to over-reliance and reduced confidence in their own abilities. This paradox highlights the balance needed to support independence while fostering confidence, emphasizing the importance of empowering visually impaired individuals to adapt and function autonomously alongside using supportive tools and services.
