What is going on in the body?
Some people are born with visual impairments. Vision changes can also occur in people of any age for a number of reasons, including conditions within the eyes, as well as conditions within the brain. The change in a person's sight may be minor or severe. Vision problems can range from an inability to see certain colors to blurred vision or complete loss of sight. The visual impairment may be acute, meaning occuring suddenly, or chronic, which means that the visual changes last for a long period of time.
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
Following are common symptoms of visual impairment: - blurry vision
- double vision, or seeing two of everything. This occurs when the images that are coming from each eye do not line up properly.
- difficulty focusing on either near or far objects
- cloudy vision, often described as "looking through a dirty windshield"
- seeing so-called floaters or black specks across the field of vision
- inability to see certain colors
- inability to see peripheral objects, meaning those objects that are to the side, up or down
- loss of depth perception
- ability only to distinguish light from dark
- total loss or absence of all vision
