Charlie Rose Segmentation About Visual Perception

I’ve come to understand why having access to institutions or facilities that can provide adequate sight and vision treatments is necessary. Being in America we’re blinded by an abundance of luxuries. We take the small things in life for granted and feel as if they should be handed to us with a silver spoon. What about the child in India who doesn’t have the opportunity to visit care centers to examine his or her eyes? What about the homeless and orphan children in Russia that can’t afford to see a doctor about their blurred vision? Who’s going to help out the child of the native lands that lives too far from the nearest medical care clinic but just severely injured his or her eye? All of these things are real life situations and real life problems that less developed countries face as they struggle to obtain funding or even educators who can routinely and professionally provide the necessary

1) According to Dillard, lovers and the knowledgeable can see well. Yet she also suggests that those who are knowledgeable on a topic, such as people who have been blind from birth and can suddenly see (due to an opperation), can perhaps view more objectively the world around them, and see it in a way that those with vision from birth cannot. Infants, she says, can see very clearly, for they are viewing the world for the first time, and can observe the colors and the light with no prejudgments, but we forget this experience as we grow older, and only occasionally catch glimpses of this phenomenon.

Children who have visual impairment usually have some vision; this can vary from each child. Some children may be able to see outlines of objects while others may only be able to tell the difference between light and dark. If a child has vision problems this nearly always initially delays their physical development. Their gross and fine motor skills would be affected because they would be unable to be as adventurous as children with good vision. Fine motor skills may not be in line with other children as the child would find it hard to do tasks that require precision such as threading beads or colouring a picture. Cognitive and language skills would also be affected, even if the child was able to read it would take longer to learn especially if it involved using braille. With the right interventions in place there is no reason why a child with visual impairment would not be able to catch up with their peers.

Losing your sight at a later stage in life can create acceptance difficulties and the need to learn a new method of communication.

Our eyes connect to the optic nerve that connects to our brain where image are processed. Even though the eye is just one part of the human body it feeds so much knowledge to the body of what is occurring around us. Our eyes are able to influence our memories and it is one of the most complex organ in our body. It is so fascinating that we all have a blind spot in our vision, however none of us has ever notice it because our eyes work together to fill in the blind spots for each other. If it was possible to notice our blind spot it would disrupt our vision.

The individuals that were blind viewed their disability as a liability. In the first video, the girl felt restricted because she didn't know how to operate in the real world. In the second video, the girl felt very overwhelmed when she was in the big store trying to find different things. In the third video, the family felt like they didn't know how the were supposed to live their own lives with their son's disability. However, each situation adapted and learned how to live life in this way.

Many people make an assumption they are not blind to life itself whether ignorance plays a part or pride. In Cathedral by Raymond Carver, it describes a few myths that society has portrayed and opinions of the visual impaired. The main focus is getting to know the person before drawing a conclusion. Its not fair to anyone to be neglected whether you are visual impaired or have the functionality of what is considered to be a normal human being.

Vision is a learned and developed skill as a child grows and connects parts of the brain to other parts of a child’s developing body. If a child has difficulty seeing the outside world they may not understand that there is a big interesting world to explore and discover. To explore is to learn new experiences and develop knowledge but without vision this may be delayed or has to be learnt in a different, slower way that can slow a child down academically. Without vision a child or young person may feel isolated and may not feel comfortable socially as they may not be able interpret someone’s mood or thoughts like a person with sight, because we sometimes use non-verbal forms of communication like facial expressions and body language to show

Vision may impact on a child’s life when they are going though their development but not much as they could wear Glasses or contacts and the only time it would cases a problem is if the child brakes, looses, forgets to bring them with the child or forgets to puts them in their eyes.

As vital organ of vision, the eye, allows us to learn more about the world around us more than any other organ or senses. Sight, the physical sensory experience and vision, the metaphysical concept of how our brain interprets images both work harmoniously and play a huge role in our everyday lives. However, almost a billion people are either blind or visually impaired simply due to not having a pair of glasses. Being able to lead people in the direction of good vision is what developed my interests.

One service user who was blind was hard to settle, because he couldn’t see it was hard to communicate, he was unable to express himself verbally and he was very anxious and depressed. He had moved from Bala where he was brought up many years ago

During my experience on Blank 3, I was able to interact with a 19-year-old patient who had septo optic dysplasia. As I looked over her health history, I came across this diagnosis. As I did my research, I encountered that septo optic dysplasia is a condition where a child is born with early development of the brain. With this condition, one common feature that it results in, is having optic nerves that lack development. This lack of development of the optic nerves leads to having a side effect of impaired vision, which impaired vision can become severely impaired. Due to this diagnosis and gaining an understanding of what a condition like it entails, served as my platform for developing a small educational session about learning Braille.

When lacking the physical trait of sight not only do the other five senses enhance, but their imagination can too. It is a choice whether to live in darkness and suffocate in the blindness one was born with, or to still chase a life of color through different venues. Helen Keller, though she was blind and deaf, saw beautiful sights without the ability to see. Although she did not possess any working eyes or ears she had imagination. By not physically seeing the world in its imperfect beauty she was able to create her own world in utter perfection, “...more incredible still, the strange grass and skies the blind behold are greener grass and bluer skies than ordinary eyes see” (paragraph 6).

Visually impaired kids should never be discriminated from attaining quality education. If the right procedure is adapted in delivery of information or rather education to such students, they will equally possess the same level of education as normal children. The procedure of teaching a blind
