Extractions: A white cane , the international symbol of blindness ICD H H H ... DiseasesDB Blindness is the condition of lacking visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors. Various scales have been developed to describe the extent of vision loss and define blindness. Total blindness is the complete lack of form and visual light perception and is clinically recorded as NLP, an abbreviation for "no light perception." Blindness is frequently used to describe severe visual impairment with residual vision. Those described as having only light perception have no more sight than the ability to tell light from dark and the general direction of a light source In order to determine which people may need special assistance because of their visual disabilities, various governmental jurisdictions have formulated more complex definitions referred to as legal blindness In North America and most of Europe , legal blindness is defined as visual acuity corrective lenses visual field of less than 20 degrees (the norm being 180 degrees) are also classified as being legally blind. Approximately ten percent of those deemed legally blind, by any measure, have no vision. The rest have some vision, from light perception alone to relatively good acuity.

Less-severe levels of vision impairment have been categorized, ranging from near-normal vision to various degrees of low vision to near-blindness, depending on the visual acuity and functional impact stemming from the vision loss. Legal blindness is a government-defined term that determines eligibility for various services or benefits as well as restrictions on certain activities such as driving.

Extractions: Compiled by Sarah J. Blake Read Sarah's review of the Acer Aspire One, a laptop for those on the go. If you have a web site and would like to syndicate Sarah's articles, please visit the syndication page for more information and an example of the feed. Since early 2002, I have been communicating with Dr. Ken Tittle, who founded Mariposa, a Christian ministry to train people with disabilities to work as peer counselors and to facilitate full inclusion in the church community. Mariposa's work was solely with people with mobility impairments until he contacted me and asked if I would be willing to participate and provide some information about blindness and my experiences as a person who is blind. Dr. Tittle's questions about the impact of blindness are very deep and illustrate my reason for developing this site. Assessing a person's visual functioning is often not at all like assessing a person's muscle function. Many factors affect visual functioning. But the impact of blindness is also about much more than visual functioning. The physical impact of blindness can pose a number of challenges socially, and often people who are blind or visually impaired feel the impact of these problems more deeply than they feel the physical impact of their limitations. I suspect that a comprehensive analysis of the impact of blindness would take volumes. I know that all of the 50 or 60 books I have read barely scratch the surfaceand most leave out some very important elements. Visual impairment affects a person in many ways. It affects the way a person learns about, understands, and moves about in the environment (orientation and mobility); the way he accesses information and communicates his ideas; social relationships; accomplishment of daily tasks; perceptions of others about the blind person; and even the blind person's perceptions of himself. My work on this site is an attempt to dig a bit deeper than that surface that has been scratched. Of course, before digging deeper, we must also scratch the surface; and for that purpose I have also provided some basic information about blindness and common adaptations.

Extractions: Cataracts (opacity of the lens),left untreated, can lead to glaucoma. Because they are rarer in cats than dogs, it is important to search out and treat the underlying cause if cataracts are found. Surgery to remove the affected lens is possible in qualified cats, and lens implants are sometimes used to approximate normal vision. Glaucoma Glaucoma (increased pressure within the eye) is one of the most prevalent causes of blindness in cats. It can be treated in early stages with medication to help reduce the intraocular pressure. These treatments may require hospitilization. A recently developed calcium channel blocker may also help to prevent damage to the retina and optic nerve. In advanced cases, surgery may be indicated. Tumors Eye tumors include Iris Melanoma, tumors of the eyelid, and other types of tumors. Removal of the eye is often necessary, but a prosthesis may be inserted to retain the normal appearance of the eye. Secondary Glaucoma may be caused by a tumor.

Extractions: Main content In spite of the progress made in surgical techniques in many countries during the last ten years, cataract (47.9%) remains the leading cause of visual impairment in all areas of the world, except for developed countries. Other main causes of visual impairment in 2002 are glaucoma (12.3%), age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (8.7%), corneal opacities (5.1%), diabetic retinopathy (4.8%), childhood blindness (3.9%), trachoma (3.6%), and onchocerciasis (0.8%). The causes of avoidable visual impairment world wide are all the above except for AMD. In the least-developed countries, and in particular Sub-Saharan Africa, the causes of avoidable blindness are primarily, cataract (50%), glaucoma (15%), corneal opacities (10%), trachoma (6.8%), childhood blindness (5.3%) and onchocerciasis (4%). Looking at the global distribution of avoidable blindness based on the population in each of the WHO regions, we see the following: South East Asian 28%, Western Pacific 26%, African 16.6%, Eastern Mediterranean 10%, the American 9.6%, and European 9.6%.

Although it's true that most blind people do have some degree of vision, for all intents and purposes, one can say that people who are blind do not use their eyes to access the web, because whatever vision they have is not useful enough for this kind of task. This means that a computer monitor and mouse would be much less useful to a person who is blind. It's not that blind people are incapable of moving or clicking a mouse; it's just that they don't know where to move it or when to click it, since they can't see what's on the screen. Just how do blind people use the web then?
