-There is a difference on the social effects when a child is born blind and when someone loses his/her vision and becomes blind.
- Extensive care is needed
- Mobility needs
- Need training, adaptation and learning of new skills
- Many skills would be lost such as driving and reading.
- Would need a caregiver at periods throughout the day
- Period of training can last up to 2 years
- Moving to new environments would cause difficulties as the patient has to learn the place again
- Skills learnt would help make adaptation easier in the future
- Need help during travelling
- Tend to be more skilful in other sensory areas such as hearing and smell.
