Many people believe that blindness is a complete lack of sight in both eyes. This is not true. People are considered to be blind if they can only identify objects and people if they are 20 feet away from them or less. The person with normal vision can identify these same objects from 200 feet away. A person who is blind needs two feet between themselves and a standard eye chart in order to recognized the letters. Some of the leading causes of blindness are accidents, diabetes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Regardless of whether your vision impairment is due to eye injuries, genetics or psychological conditions, Sackett and Associates understands how challenging it is to cope with a visual disability.
