Conducting an independent life is probably the most important issue for visually impaired people. In this paper, we suggest a contribution to the solution of this problem using wearable computer technology. We present a visual support system that provides acoustic information about the objects in the surrounding environment, obtained by remotely ...

"Legal blindness" occurs if a patient has central visual acuity of 20/200 or less in the better eye with corrective glasses or a visual field that is no greater than 20 degrees in the better eye.
