What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of the population that are blind or have serious difficulty seeing even when wearing glasses. |
| Why this is important: People with a vision difficulty encounter challenges in performing daily activities such as reading, cooking, and taking medication. An adult whose vision becomes impaired may need to learn new ways of completing tasks. Vision impairment in children can affect cognitive, emotional, neurological, and physical development by potentially limiting the experiences and information a child is exposed to. |
| Technical Note: The regional value is compared to the national value. |
