A person with total blindness won't be able to see anything. But a person with low vision may be able to see not only light, but colors and shapes too. However, they may have trouble reading street signs, recognizing faces, or matching colors to each other. If you have low vision, your vision may be unclear or hazy.

Learn More »The word “blind” is a very broad term. If you’re legally blind, you may be able to see reasonably well with a pair of corrective lenses. “Legally blind” is more of a legal term than a functional description. In fact, the U.S. government uses the term legally blind to refer to a person who’s eligible to receive certain types of aid and services because of their vision impairment. So, many people with a wide range of visual impairments could fall into that broad category of “blind” or even the slightly narrower category of “legally blind.” Yet, their experiences may be very different. You can’t make assumptions that all blind people see — or don’t see — the same things. What they see What a blind person can see depends a great deal on how much vision they have. A person with total blindness won’t be able to see anything. But a person with low vision may be able to see not only light, but colors and shapes too. However, they may have trouble reading street signs, recognizing faces, or matching colors to each other. If you have low vision, your vision may be unclear or hazy. Some visual deficits cause part of your field of vision to be compromised. You might have a blind spot or a blurry spot in the middle of your field of vision. Or your peripheral vision may be impaired on one or both sides. These issues can involve one or both eyes. Types of blindness There are a few different types of visual impairment that fall into the overall category of blindness. Low vision If you have permanently reduced vision but retain some amount of your sight, you have low vision. The American Foundation for the Blind describes low vision as “permanently reduced vision that cannot be corrected with regular glasses, contact lenses, medicine or surgery.” However, you may still be able to see well enough with those corrective measures or magnifying devices to carry out most of your normal activities of daily living. But you may have some difficulties. Many conditions can lead to low vision, including: macular degeneration

If you’ve ever heard that blind people have better hearing than sighted people, you’ve encountered one of the most common ones. Some blind people do have a very good sense of hearing, and blind people are able to glean a lot of useful information by listening. But that doesn’t mean their actual sense of hearing is superior to someone who’s not blind — or that all blind people have great hearing. Here are a few other misconceptions about blindness or blind people. Eating carrots will save your vision It’s true that carrots can be part of a diet that supports eye health. Carrots are high in the antioxidants beta carotene and lutein, which can fight against free radicals that might cause damage to your eyes. Your body uses beta carotene to make vitamin A, which can promote eye health and reduce the likelihood of developing age-related eye disease. But eating carrots won’t restore a blind person’s sight. Blindness is an ‘all or nothing’ condition Most people with vision loss aren’t completely blind. They may have some sight, which means they have low vision. They may have some residual vision, which could allow them to see light or color or shapes. According to the American Foundation for the Blind, only about 15 percent fall into the “totally blind” category. Everyone with vision impairment needs corrective lenses Your need for glasses, contact lenses, or surgery depends on your specific situation, including your diagnosis and how much vision you do have. People with total vision loss won’t benefit from visual aids, so they won’t need to use them. If you sit too close to the TV, you’ll go blind Generations of parents have uttered some version of that warning, but all for naught. It’s not actually true. How to offer support Experts say that family support for someone who’s losing their vision or adjusting to vision loss is critical to their adjustment process. Research suggests that social support helps adults with low vision adjust more successfully to their condition and remain independent. It may also help ward off depression. Sighted people can take on many other roles to offer their support. They can raise awareness about vision loss and the best ways to assist blind people or people with low vision. They can debunk myths and clear up any misconceptions about people who have vision loss. You can also make a big difference in the lives of individuals who are blind. You can be thoughtful and courteous in how you approach a person with vision loss. Experts suggest greeting the person first. Then ask if you can help them, rather than just jumping in and trying to help them. Listen to the person’s answer. If they ask for help in a certain way, respect their wishes and don’t try to do something else instead. If they decline your help, respect that choice as well. If you live with a person with vision loss or regularly interact with someone who’s blind, you can talk to them about the best way to provide support to them on an ongoing basis.
