Everyone in my family has bad vision. I've been wearing glasses since I was five.
I see, well visual impairment occurs when there are significant issues with vision that can't be fixed with glasses.
Is there any other way it can be fixed?
It depends on the cause, for instance cataracts are the most common cause of blindness.
My mom had cataracts when she was in her 20s. She had to get surgery to fix it.
Wow, I'm glad she was able to fix it. There are other causes of visual impairment such as macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Are most people born with visual impairments?
No, however some people who don't have access to glasses can be considered visually impaired.
