Blindness is a lack of vision, and it cannot be corrected by glasses or contact lenses. The severity of vision loss varies, as there is both partial and complete blindness. Partial blindness means that one has limited vision, while complete blindness is the complete loss of vision where not even light can be seen.


Causes of Blindness

There are many causes of blindness; however the main causes are accidents to the eye, diabetes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Accidents to the eye can include chemical burns and sports injuries. These accidents are preventable through the use of protective eyewear.


How Blindness affects a Person’s Daily Life

Blindness can affect one’s daily living, as low vision can result in difficulty driving, reading, or doing small tasks around the house such as sewing. It is important to acknowledge vision loss, and contact an ophthalmologist or visit an emergency room immediately.


An ophthalmologist is a doctor of medicine specializing in diagnosing and treating disorders of the eye. When treating vision loss, it must be dealt with immediately when the vision loss occurs. There are a variety of treatments available, such as treating nutritional causes of blindness through dietary changes.
