A woman with gray hair looks at a sheet of paper with lines and a circle as she covers her right eye with her right hand. Beside her there is a person wearing a white lab coat, also looking at the paper.

This resource provides a general overview of visual conditions commonly associated with deafblindness, aimed at helping providers and others develop a better understanding of the different types of vision loss and their potential practical implications.

While this resource highlights several common visual conditions, it is important to note that it does not cover every possible condition. Additionally, each DeafBlind individual’s experience with vision loss is unique, and their specific needs may vary. By gaining a foundational knowledge of these visual conditions, providers can be better prepared to ensure that the DeafBlind consumers they work with have appropriate access and support tailored to their individual circumstances.
