Low vision

Low vision means that some people cannot see very well even with glasses, contact lenses, or surgery. It's like trying to look through a foggy or blurry window. Low vision can happen for many reasons, like being born that way, getting older, or having an injury or illness. Some people have trouble seeing things close up, while others can't see things far away. Some people can't see colors, while others have trouble telling the difference between them. People with low vision might need special help, like using big print books or using special technology that helps them see better.
