Some can not \u00a0see distant objects, and some cannot see near  objects. These types of treatments are known as refractive error can be corrected  by using glasses and lenses.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Few causes of vision loss are irreversible and  cannot be corrected using glasses. These visual impairments should be treated  in time. <\/p>\n<h2>What Causes Visual Impairment?<\/h2>\n <p> Any of the following can be the cause of visual  impairment in the person:-<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-style\">\n  <li>Childbirth  defect.<\/li>\n  <li>Possible  genetic disorders of eye<\/li>\n  <li>Increasing  age (old age)<\/li>\n  <li>Eye  injuries. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Injuries to the eye can be reduced by using a  protective eyeglass. We can also switch to healthy habits like eating  nutritious food and avoiding smoking. However, surgery can correct some eye  problems but cannot cure and prevent all eye-related problems.<\/p>\n<h2>Different Forms Of Visual Impairment<\/h2>\n <p> The signs and symptoms of patient vary with the  disease. Glaucoma will affect peripheral vision (it allows your eye to look  around without moving your head). In contrast, macular degeneration (an eye  disorder) affects central vision (it affects all activities including reading,  driving, seeing faces and pictures). Other problems like photophobia (sensitivity  to light), diplopia (double vision), and vision distortion may also cause  vision problems.<\/p>\n<h2>What Means &quot;Low Vision&quot; And  &quot;Legally Blind&quot; Mean?<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"list-style\">\n  <li><strong>Low  vision:<\/strong> If by using glasses or  contact lenses, the persons&#8217; vision can only get up to 20\/70 acuity, then the  person is said to be low vision. It is also described by World Health  Organization that a person having a visual acuity of 20\/70 or 20\/400 has low  vision. 20\/70 acuity means that you must be at 20 feet to see an object that  can be seen from a distance of 70 feet through normal eyes. <\/li>\n  <li><strong>Legally  Blind:<\/strong> If with the help of  glasses and contact lenses, a person can only achieve an acuity of 20\/200, then  that person can say to be legally blind. If a person&#8217;s visual acuity is 20\/200,  that means that the person needs to be at a distance of 20 feet to see an  object that a person with normal vision can see from a distance of 200 feet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Are The Different Types Of Blindness?<\/h2>\n <p> Most people think that the blind is a simple  word for those who cannot see. Blindness is more complex than this. There are  different types of blindness. They are:-<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-style\">\n  <li><strong>Macular  Degeneration<\/strong>: It is seen most commonly in adults. It causes the central vision  to deteriorate. Its diagnosis can be made with dilated retinal examination and  Ocular Coherence Tomography scan of the eye.<\/li>\n  <li><strong>Retinopathy  of prematurity<\/strong>: This occurs to the child who is born prematurely. It occurs due  to damage to the blood vessels present in the eyes. It can result in <a title=\"retinal detachment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ojaseyehospital.com\/blog\/retinal-detachment-risk-factors-and-protection\/\"><strong>retinal detachment<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Can We Do To Help The Blind People?<\/h2>\n <p> All visually impaired persons deserve to be  treated with dignity and respect. Therefore, it is better to be polite with  them and be ready to accept if they say no to take any assistance. Following  are some of the tips:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-style\">\n  <li>If you are  a guest at a visually impaired person&#8217;s home, then make sure to put the thing  where they want you to put them.<\/li>\n  <li>Remember  that visually impaired people can also live their lives to their fullest. So  always maintain a helpful attitude toward them rather than a pitying attitude.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How To Take Care Of Your Eyesight?<\/h2>\n <p> As the technology, medical science, and  pharmaceutical industry is growing vastly. It has increased our understanding  of human eyes. As a result, it has been easier to find the cure for more eye  problems. But, we should not rely on these things and stop caring about our  eyes. Keep your eyes healthy by regularly scheduling an appointment for eye  exams. It will help you diagnose the possible eye problems in advance, and you  can start the respective treatment for that.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people have faced some types of problems related to vision in their life.
