Visual Impairment (for Teens) - Nemours KidsHealth - 0 views

  • Just as you don't think about your eye color every day, people with visual impairment don't always think about their condition every day either.

      I never thought about it this way. This likely goes for other disabilities as well. Our own personal obstacles, if you will, in life become part of a routine that we don't think about every day.
  • If a visually impaired person asks for assistance, don't hesitate to help.

      You shouldn't ever hesitate to help someone who asks for assistance, disability or not. Helping others is great, but like in the disability sensitivity video we shared it may be more harmful than helpful in some scenarios.
  • People rarely lose their eyesight during their teen years. When they do, it's usually caused by an injury like getting hit in the eye or head with a baseball or having an automobile or motorcycle accident.

      This seems unclear to me. There are many causes for visual impairment, whether they stem from an accident or are genetic. Although, they do not have to be either of these, visual impairments can happen to anyone. This portion goes on to specify conditions that may cause loss of vision after birth, which to me would mean in infancy. Loss of vision doesn't have to happen at any said time in your life.

  • Some people are completely blind, but many others have what's called legal blindness. They haven't lost their sight completely but have lost enough vision that they'd have to stand 20 feet from an object to see it as well as someone with perfect vision could from 200 feet away.
