Poor eyesight affects a person's lifestyle, his psycho-emotional state. To see the world around us and people, it is necessary to use special optics: glasses, lenses that correct congenital or acquired visual defects.
Loss of sight
A person can lose their eyesight at any age. Years take their toll, the eye muscles become less elastic, and the clarity of the picture disappears. Violation of safety rules, an accident, the specifics of work, heredity - these factors can affect the fact that a person begins to see poorly. This situation imposes a number of restrictions that will depend on the person's usual lifestyle and on the degree of vision loss. In each case, it is necessary to undergo an examination by an ophthalmologist. It is he who is able to assess the severity of the problem, help find a way out of the situation, make a forecast for the future, and prescribe treatment.
Restrictions for the visually impaired
Poor vision can be the reason for refusal to hire, refusal to obtain a driver's license. Visually impaired people begin to lead a secluded life, because they are afraid to go outside. Unfortunately, in Russia, roads, buildings, entrances, streets do not have equipment for people with disabilities. It is this fact that turns a person into a hermit. It's scary to go outside, seem helpless, ask strangers to move across the street or read an ad. Poor eyesight does not allow you to engage in your favorite hobby: knitting, sewing, embroidery. It is difficult to read newspapers and books.
Poor vision is not a sentence
Poor vision does not make a person worse than others. This is just a kind of limitation that must be accepted. A person must understand that the path of life will develop in a different way, and there is no need to put an end to himself. Modern medicine has made significant strides forward. New technologies allow partially or completely restore vision and alleviate the condition.
There are ways that help improve the quality of life of a person with poor vision: glasses, lenses, magnifiers, special devices for the visually impaired. Support from loved ones and family is important. It is these people who help to adapt to new living conditions, provide moral support. In addition to the eyes, a person has several other senses that help him compensate for the deficiency. Poor eyesight does not interfere with being happy and self-sufficient, it does not interfere with starting a family, working and relaxing.
People with poor eyesight attend special trainings and seminars, where they learn how to live with such a defect, how not to despair and find the strength to fight. The seminars are also aimed at enlightening people in the field of medicine, informing about new technologies, drugs that help improve vision.
