    Visual impairment, also known as vision impairment or vision loss, is a decreased ability to see to a degree that causes problems not fixable by usual means, such as glasses.[1][2] Some also include those who have a decreased ability to see because they do not have access to glasses or contact lenses.[1] Visual impairment is often defined as a best corrected visual acuity of worse than either 20/40 or 20/60.[7] The term blindness is used for complete or nearly complete vision loss.[7] Visual impairment may cause difficulties with normal daily activities such as reading and walking without adaptive training and equipment.[2]
    The most common causes of visual impairment globally are uncorrected refractive errors (43%), cataracts (33%), and glaucoma (2%).[5] Refractive errors include near-sightedness, far-sightedness, presbyopia, and astigmatism.[5] Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness.[5] Other disorders that may cause visual problems include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, corneal clouding, childhood blindness, and a number of infections.[8] Visual impairment can also be caused by problems in the brain due to stroke, premature birth, or trauma, among others.[9] These cases are known as cortical visual impairment.[9] Screening for vision problems in children may improve future vision and educational achievement.[10] Screening adults without symptoms is of uncertain benefit.[11] Diagnosis is by an eye exam.[2]
    The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 80% of visual impairment is either preventable or curable with treatment.[5] This includes cataracts, the infections river blindness and trachoma, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, uncorrected refractive errors, and some cases of childhood blindness.[12] Many people with significant visual impairment benefit from vision rehabilitation, changes in their environment, and assistive devices.[2]
    As of 2015 there were 940 million people with some degree of vision loss.[6] 246 million had low vision and 39 million were blind.[5] The majority of people with poor vision are in the developing world and are over the age of 50 years.[5] Rates of visual impairment have decreased since the 1990s.[5] Visual impairments have considerable economic costs both directly due to the cost of treatment and indirectly due to decreased ability to work.[13]

    My eyesight has gotten really bad over the last 2 years. I have always been a casual wearing glasses. Within a space of about 2 years i have been wearing them permanent.
    I did put on 25kg from 86kg-110kg. Since 2019. And i was diagnosed with diabetes mid last year (around the time my visions gotten even worse)
    They say loosing weight can help blurry vision. Im not sure what else i can try 😢

      @@matt17389you need to change your lifestyle. Stop eating sugar this includes fruits and honey, stop eating gluten, reduce seed oil consumption and lastly start fasting one meal a day or two meals (there needs to be a 9hr gap between both meals). My eyesight was bad but it’s significantly better I can’t see clearer your body is designed to health itself if you stop abusing it

      I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with a chalazion, Shreya. Applying warm compresses several times a day and maintaining good eyelid hygiene can help reduce the swelling and discomfort. If the pain persists, please consult a healthcare professional for further advice. ❤️

    Blindness can be cured: work at home in 3 areas. Primary vision(occipital lobe), secondary vision(phisical eyes) and terciary vsion(third vision). It works.
