Visual Impairment (VI)

Handheld video magnifier for students with visual impairment

Visual Impairment refers to a significant functional loss of vision that cannot be corrected by medication, surgical operation, or ordinary optical lenses such as spectacles. It can range from being mild to severe, to complete blindness. About two-third of people with visual impairment have multiple problems including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, hearing impairment and/or mental retardation. People with visual impairment may present the following concerns:

 

Behavioral signs
Head tilt, eccentric viewing (abnormal head posturing), eye poking, poor eye contact and holding objects close to the eyes.

 

Physical signs
Headaches, strabismus, nystagmus, leukokoria or microphthalmia.
