Navigating Vision Loss: Understanding Blindness
Summary:
Blindness is commonly understood as the absence of visual perception. In North America, the condition is more precisely defined as having a vision of 20/200 or worse in the better eye, even with corrective lenses. This means someone with 20/200 vision sees at 20 feet what a person with normal vision can see at 200 feet.
Understanding Blindness:
Blindness is often thought of as complete darkness, yet this is only true for about 10% of those affected. The rest experience varying degrees of visual perception, including the ability to perceive light.
Two key factors in diagnosing blindness are visual acuity and visual field. A normal visual field spans 180 degrees, while someone with severe vision loss may have only 20 degrees.
Causes of Blindness:
Diseases are the primary contributors to blindness. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the leading causes include:
- Cataracts (47.8%)
- Glaucoma (12.3%)
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (8.7%)
- Corneal opacity (5.1%)
- Diabetic retinopathy (4.8%)
- Trachoma (3.6%)
Global Perspective:
Developing countries face higher rates of visual impairment due to treatable or preventable conditions that remain unaddressed due to financial constraints.
By raising awareness and improving access to medical care, especially in resource-limited regions, the burden of preventable blindness can be significantly reduced.
