- Definition of Visually Impaired
Visual impairment is the consequence of a functional loss of vision, rather than the eye disorder itself. Eye disorders which can lead to visual impairments can include retinal degeneration, albinism, cataracts, glaucoma, muscular problems that result in visual disturbances, corneal disorders, diabetic retinopathy, congenital disorders, and infection.

- Simple Strategies for Individuals with Visual Impairment
One aspect of low vision or visual impairments is a reduced amount of
light entering the eye. As a result, there is a reduction in visual acuity,
contrast, and color intensity. Simple adjustments in lighting, contrast, and
print size are simple techniques that can help an individual use the vision
they have more efficiently. When it comes to lighting remember to think
about the type, quality, quantity, and direction of the light source.
