How Visual Impairment
Support Services Can Help You

Are you facing challenges due to visual impairment? Feeling disheartened from caring for someone visually impaired?

You don’t have to go through it alone. Our in-home visual impairment support services at Beacon Support can help.

Before we dive into the support services available, let’s first understand what visual impairment is.

What is Visual Impairment?

Visual impairment ranges from partial vision loss to complete blindness. It can be present at birth or develop later due to ageing, injuries or diseases affecting the eyes.

How Your Loved Ones Lose Their Sight

There are various causes for how your loved ones lose their sight. Below are the main causes of vision impairment.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Activities like reading books or recognising faces are difficult for the elderly as they age. This condition mainly affects them, causing distortion or loss of their central vision.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma narrows your loved one’s field of vision, which can make tasks like driving more dangerous.

Diabetic Retinopathy

This diabetes-related condition leads to blurred and patchy vision.

Refractive Errors

Half of all vision problems in Australia are caused by refractive errors like long-sightedness, short-sightedness, astigmatism, and age-related farsightedness (presbyopia). Such eye problems can usually be corrected with glasses.

Cataracts

Cataracts cause your loved one’s blurry vision and increased sensitivity to bright lights yet, these can be treated with surgery.

Vision Loss in Children

Diseases, defects, and infections during pregnancy can impair a child’s vision from birth or early infancy. Regular consultations with an obstetrician-gynaecologist are recommended to avoid health complications.
