Three Approaches for Dealing with Low Vision
Medical Model
Rehabilitation
Social Justice and Civil Rights
DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion)
IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility)

Relevance to Daily Life
Disability as a form of diversity.
Your personal experience with disability.
Think inclusively.

Vision Terms
3 Categories of Sight – Normal, Low Vision, Blind
Terminology:
• Visual Disorder: Any deviation from normal in the status of the eyes, including diseases or chronic conditions.
• Visual Impairment: Consequences of an eye disease or disorder on a measure of visual function such as acuity or contrast sensitivity.
• Visual Disability: Restrictions on normal activities of daily life resulting from visual impairment, such as reading or mobility.
• Visual Handicap: A cultural, economic, or social disadvantage for a person resulting from visual impairment.

Definitions of Low Vision
Any chronic visual impairment, not correctable by lenses, that affects everyday function.
Inability to read newsprint (e.g., Times Roman 10pt) at a typical reading distance (40 cm, 16 inches) with best refractive correction.
Visual acuity of less than 20/60 or a visual field of less than 20 degrees in the better eye with best possible correction (ICD-10).
Acuity boundary shifting to 20/40.

Blindness: the best-corrected visual acuity of 6/60 or worse (=20/200) in the better-seeing eye. Low Vision is defined as the best-corrected visual acuity less than 6/12 (‹20/40) in the better-seeing eye (excluding those who were categorized as being blind by the U.S. definition.) Blindness as defined by the U.S. definition is the best-corrected visual acuity of 6/60 or worse (=20/200) in the better-seeing eye. Blindness is defined by U.S. definition 20/200 best-corrected visual acuity in the better-seeing eye and the World Health Organization standard of < 20/400. Mr. Magoo “Watching” TV Time-Tradeoff Method for Estimating Quality of Life Suppose your life expectancy is 50 more years. Imagine losing all of your sight today and becoming totally blind for the remaining 50 years of your life. How many years of life N would you be willing to trade away to retain your current normal, healthy vision? Your estimate of Quality Of Life (QOL) with total blindness is (50-N)/50. Example. If you are willing to trade away 20 years, QOL = 30/50 = .60; your estimate of QOL with blindness is 60% of QOL with healthy sight. /docProps/thumbnail.jpeg 程序代写 CS代考 加微信: powcoder QQ: 1823890830 Email: powcoder@163.com
