Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Vision loss can occur at any age and can be gradual or sudden in onset.

Answer: B
 Blindness is not simply the absence of light. It is a condition where visual acuity is so severely impaired that everyday activities cannot be completed without assistance or adaptations.

Answer: None of the choices are correct.
 It is not always the case that both eyes are affected. Some people may only experience vision loss in one eye or have different degrees of vision loss in each eye.
