Low vision refers to a significant visual impairment that cannot be fully corrected with standard eyeglasses, contact lenses, medication, or surgery. People with low vision have some usable vision.
Blindness is the condition of lacking visual perception due to physiological or neurological factors. Complete blindness means the absence of light perception.
Both low vision and blindness require different levels of support and adaptation. Understanding these differences is important for providing appropriate accommodations and resources.
