Vision loss in childhood can be devastating, impacting a child’s ability to learn, play, and develop. Without sight, simple joys become daunting, leading to isolation and frustration. These children face significant educational barriers, limiting their potential.
Losing vision can strip away independence and confidence, making everyday tasks incredibly challenging. The economic impact is severe, often resulting in job loss and financial strain. There’s a profound emotional impact, as adults struggle with the loss of their role and identity.
For the elderly, vision loss can mean the difference between independence and reliance on others. The inability to see clearly can lead to falls, injuries, and greater dependence on caregivers. Social isolation becomes a significant concern, as the elderly withdraw from activities, leading to loneliness and depression.
