Blindness

Blindness refers to the condition of lacking the visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors. It can be complete or partial, with complete blindness meaning total lack of vision, while partial blindness refers to significantly impaired vision. Blindness can result from various causes, including genetic conditions, diseases (such as glaucoma or cataracts), injuries, or developmental issues. The impact of blindness extends to the ability to perform daily activities, requiring adaptations and supports to help individuals navigate their environment. Moreover, blindness is often addressed through various technologies and assistance, including mobility training, braille, and audio-based systems, aimed at improving the quality of life and independence for those affected.
