Vision and Blindness

This section starts with the basics: information about vision and vision disorders. There are links to sites that explain the causes of visual impairment and blindness, as well as definitions of professional and medical terminology, descriptions of vision examination procedures, simulations, statistics, and recommendations for protecting the eyes and vision. Searchers will find support groups for parents, families, and consumers, along with advice for environmental adaptations and tips for living with blindness and visual impairment.
