Hearing and Visual Impairments
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1992Hearing impairments, with their resultant difficulties in communication function, represent a common chronic condition affecting one third of aged individuals. Loss of hearing ability pervades multiple domains of function in aged individuals, decreasing activity, increasing depressive symptoms, and confounding assessment of cognitive ability.

2005 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR'05) - Workshops, 2006
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 ...

Molecular Medicine Today, 2000
Retinal degeneration is a leading cause of serious visual impairment. This ‘catch-all’ term encompasses a variety of clinical phenotypes, which can be sub-divided according to the specific parts of the retina affected and the associated signs and symptoms.

Cortical visual impairment in children
Survey of Ophthalmology, 1994Cortical visual impairment (CVI) in children is most commonly caused by peri- or post-natal hypoxia-ischemia, but may also occur following other insults, e.g., trauma, epilepsy, infections, drugs or poisons, and certain neurologic diseases. The disorder differs considerably in etiology, physical findings, and, perhaps, prognosis, from the cortical ...

Towards a classification of visual impairment
Documenta Ophthalmologica, 1992For the rehabilitation of people with impaired vision, it is essential to have adequate (preferably quantitative) information about their residual visual functions. Special attention is given to the extra information provided by the results of measurement of the contrast sensitivity, especially in combination with the results of other measurements ...

Blindness and Visual Impairment
2013Significant visual impairment affects ~8 million Americans, 1.8 million of whom are blind and must find nonvisual methods of performing life roles. Social workers should not assume that people with visual impairment or blindness are unable to work, have families, or engage in sports or travel, or that vision limitations are necessarily a part of every ...
