Giving You are here: Home Adolescent Health > Research Articles Blindness Blindness is, fortunately, a rare occurrence during adolescence. Legal blindness may range from a complete loss of vision, which is total blindness to impaired vision. Impaired vision of 20/200 qualifies for legal blindness. Legal blindness is further defined as correction of vision to 20/200 in the better eye or a visual field of twenty percent or less. Using the snellen eye chart, an individual with 20/200 vision will be able to see the letters at twenty feet distance where individuals with 20/20 or normal vision can see the same line and letters at two hundred feet. To understand a visual field of twenty percent or less, imagine looking through a toilet tissue tube with one eye. This restricts your visual filed to less than twenty percent. About ten percent of individuals who are diagnosed with legal blindness have a total loss of vision. Who is likely to develop blindness? The following are some of the causes of blindness in adolescents.

BLINDNESS By Jose Saramago. Translated from the Portuguese by Giovanni Pontiero from the 1995 Ensaio sombre a Cegueira. 309 pages London: The Harvill Press, 1997 ISBN: 0-15-136700-9 Comments of Bob Corbett October 2001 Also appended remarks from George Snedeker December 2001 How are we to imagine a world in which some central part of our meaning system suddenly disappears? I've played with the idea in thinking about having survived an atomic war which destroyed most humans, and all the basic infrastructures of everyday life. The problems one runs into even in such a game of imagination is to be consistent and being able to step far enough away to see what it is that really changes. In my day-dreaming imaginings I never went so far as to even dare to consider the inner changes in my person or the other survivors around me. It was much more than I could do to even anticipate and manage the physical problems of change and how to deal with them. Jose Saramago presents us with exactly such a problematic, yet his masterful analysis deals not only with the physical aspects of change and how his characters deal with them, but he inters into the psychological realm and astounds us with his insights and brilliance. A man is sitting at a traffic light one day waiting for the light to turn green and he suddenly goes blind. This is the "first blind man." Slowly this mysterious form of blindness, the like not known in the literature of modern medicine, spreads to the whole nation. As best we know, there is only one sighted person left in the realm. We follow a cast of fewer than 10 characters in detail. We have no names, only descriptors. After all one character tells us "blind people need no names." There is the first blind man, the first blind man's wife. The blind man had a seeming good semaritan who helps him home and but then steals his car and is thus called the man who had stole the car. There is the doctor whom he consults and the doctor's wife, the girl with dark glasses, the boy with the squint and the man with the black eye patch. There are a few others, but these become our key characters, later on adding the dog of tears.

Those first afflicted are quarantined by the authorities in an abandoned mental hospital where the newly created "society of the blind" quickly breaks down. Criminals and the physically powerful prey upon the weak, hoarding the meager food rations and committing horrific acts. There is however one eyewitness to the nightmare. A woman whose sight is unaffected by the plague follows her afflicted husband to quarantine. There, keeping her sight a secret, she guides seven strangers who have become, in essence, a family. She leads them out of quarantine and onto the ravaged streets of the city, which has seen all vestiges of civilization crumble.
