Blinking is a natural preserver of your better vision. Blinking cleanses and lubricates the eyes. When there is no tension, your eyes blink 10-12 times every minute, or about once every 5 seconds. But people who do not see clearly tend to stare and unconsciously hold their eyes open, which causes strain as well as the feeling of dry and tired eyes. Consciously remind yourself to blink every 3-5 seconds. The more you blink the better it is for your eyes.

"We hope the campaign will replace the notion that low vision is a normal part of the natural aging process with a message of hope," Janiszewski said. "We want to stress that there is help for people with low vision. There are many services and devices, such as magnifiers and hand-held scanners, that allow people with low vision to maintain their independence. Minor home modifications can make a big difference in daily living. Visual rehabilitation may help improve quality of life."

Currently, a very large effort is being made to make people aware through a program called “Vision Research…A National Plan: 1993-2003." This effort is co-sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Eye Institute (NEI), and the National Advisory Eye Council. The major goal of this initiative is to preserve eyesight by conducting research, training and informing people of the most recent advancements in visual health.

The end result is that cats have poor detail vision compared to humans. And because cones are ... responsible for color vision, cats have comparatively poor color vision. But they’re not colorblind. Instead, they have the same type of color vision as many people who are called colorblind: a type of red-green colorblindness termed deuteranopia. They can see blue versus other color fine, but tend to confuse colors on the red through brown through green continuum.

Because of their reliance on narrow definitions of visual impairment, many estimates of the number of people with low vision are understated. When low vision is more broadly defined as visual problems that hamper the performance and enjoyment of everyday activities, almost 14 million persons are estimated to have low vision. Visual impairment is 1 of the 10 most frequent causes of disability in the United States.
