Having “low vision” is not the same as being “blind.” Of course we cannot call it as being blind. Its too rude right for certain person? For example, your doctor may tell you that you have a spot in the center of your vision that limits your ability to read or see people’s faces, but you will still be able to get around using your side vision. Or you may have vision loss in the periphery of your vision but still see clearly enough to read through use of central vision.
How low vision may affect you?
Among older persons, low vision can result from specific eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, or from a stroke. Low vision may affect your ability to see people’s faces or watch television, to read, to drive, and even to match colors
The important thing is to know that there is help. For example, there are low vision professionals who can provide you a low vision exam as a first step in determining how you can use your remaining vision. Often, these professionals will have recommendations on devices and low vision services that can help you to maximize your remaining vision and learn new ways of doing everyday tasks.
Ps: If you still don’t know you have problem with your eyes or you thought you have low vision, please go and ask some eye doctor first and do some eye exam first. Its really a big help if you do that early.
