Project Description:
For most of us, we forget we have visions problems, and lose touch with how debilitating they are, unless we take our contact lenses out, or find ourselves groping around looking for our glasses. Experience how poor vision can hamper your ability to care for yourself and your family, to study or be active in your community. Use simple examples to understand how this would effect your whole life including not just your health but your social and economical development also. Step up to over-sized spectacles with special lenses which create the effect of differing strengths and conditions of poor vision. While looking through these fixed-position spectacles, try to carry out the 'everyday task' in front of you. Can you (ideas only): - see well enough to pick the crop rather than grab at the poisonous weed next to it? - can you see in the darkened box well enough to make your way down the pitted road without falling? - can you read the school book and so study to be the only nurse in your community?
