What are the causes of Vision Impairment?
There are many causes leading to the eventual or sudden impairment of vision. The most prominent of vision impairment causes are macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma. Other causes may include eye disorders such as Conjunctivitis, chemical burns or sports injuries, hereditary defects, and diabetes.
Could vision loss or impairment be due to age?
No. It is true that the human eye changes as we age, but not to the point where vision impairment occurs. If this has happened to you, especially sudden vision loss, know that it is not normal and should be checked as soon as possible. Protect your eyes by staying in the know. Inform yourself and your loved ones.
What are the symptoms of Vision Impairment?
Depending on the cause for vision loss, certain symptoms will occur. For a generalized example, symptoms of vision impairment may include:
- With cataracts, vision may be cloudy or fuzzy, and there may be problems seeing shapes.
- With diabetes, vision may be blurred, there may be shadows or missing areas of vision, and difficulty seeing at night.
- With glaucoma, there may be tunnel vision and blurry vision.
- With macular degeneration, the side vision is normal but the central vision is slowly lost.
