“…Low vision is defined as visual acuity worse than 6/18 and visual fields less than 20° in diameter in the better-seeing eye with the best possible correction [ 30 ]. The meaning of 6/18 is that someone with normal vision can see letters at 18 m, but a person with low vision can see letters at 6 m [ 31 ].…”

Since 2019, the Korean government’s investments in making data more accessible to the public have grown by 337%. However, open government data, which should be accessible to everyone, are not entirely accessible to people with low vision, who represent an information-vulnerable class. Emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, decrease face-to-face encounters and inevitably increase untact encounters. Thus, the information gap experienced by low-vision people, who are underprivileged in terms of information, will be further widened, and they may consequently face various disadvantages. This study proposed visual communication design accessibility (VCDA) guidelines for people with low vision. Introduced screens enhanced by accessibility guidelines were presented to 16 people with low vision and 16 people with normal vision and the speed of visual information recognition was analyzed. No statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) was found due to the small sample size; however, this study’s results approached significance with improved visual recognition speed for people with low vision after adopting VCDA. As a result of the intervention, the visual information recognition speed of both normal and low-vision people improved. Thus, our results can help improve information recognition speed among people with normal and low vision.

“…Residual coarse stereopsis is particularly important for the successful completion of various tasks in daily life, such as walking and grasping. Hence, patients with coarse stereopsis have a better quality of life [28] and motor skills [29] than those with poor or absent stereopsis. Absence of stereopsis increases the risk of falls [15] .…”

Older individuals with macular diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration, experience central vision loss (CVL) due to degeneration of their photoreceptors and retinal cells. Patients with CVL may experience various vision impairments, including of visual acuity, fixation stability, contrast sensitivity, and stereoacuity. After CVL, most patients develop a preferred retinal locus outside the affected macular region, which serves as a new visual reference. In this review, we provide an overview of the visual function and impairment in individuals with CVL. In addition, the important role of biofeedback training on the visual function and activity of individuals with CVL is also reviewed. Accordingly, the location and development of the preferred retinal loci are discussed. Finally, this review discusses how to conduct biofeedback training to treat individuals with CVL.

“…The absence of stereopsis in patients with macular degeneration with bilateral vision impairment has been associated with reduced overall quality of life, with these patients scoring low on reading ability scores. 45 It has also been reported that reduced depth perception and stereoacuity confers a significant relative risk of multiple falls and hip fractures secondary to falls. Thus, it is not suprising that patients with residual stereopsis have better visual function and motor skills than those who lose this function completely.…”
