AB  - Like  the  ability  to  hear,  the  ability  to  see  helps  determine  how  people  perceive  and  interpret  the  world.  Vision  is  important  to  our  ability  to  communicate  as  well  as  to  our  physical  health,  independence,  mobility,  social  and  community  participation,  education  and  employment,  socioeconomic  status,  and  performance  of  activities  (National  Academies  of  Sciences,  Engineering,  and  Medicine  [NASEM],  2016).  Vision  has  a  crucial  role  in  every  aspect  of  life.  It  is  a  critical  component  of  personal  encounters  in  which  information  is  often  shared  through  nonverbal  cues  such  as  gestures,  facial  expressions,  and  body  language  (World  Health  Organization  [WHO],  2019b).  In  one  survey,  more  than  70%  of  respondents  identified  loss  of  vision  as  one  of  the  most  feared  health  outcomes  (National  Eye  Institute  [NEI],  2019b).
