- POOR VISUAL ACUITY–refers to how sharp or clear an image appears.
- VISUAL FIELD DEFECTS-the entire area that can be seen without shifting one’s gaze.
- EYE MOVEMENT ABNORMALITIES–abnormalities of the six muscles surrounding the eye.
- IMPAIRMENT IN COLOR AND LIGHT PERCEPTION–color blindness and sensitivity to light.
