Visual Impairment

A reduction in the ability to see that cannot be fully corrected with standard glasses, contact lenses, or medical treatment. Visual impairments range from low vision (partial sight) to total blindness and include conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. Digital accessibility for people with visual impairments requires screen reader compatibility, sufficient color contrast, text resizing support, alternative text for images, and non-visual navigation methods.
