We assume that the visually impaired perceive the world as black, but it is not that simple. There are many things that are difficult for us to perceive. We will describe them based on the experience of a visually impaired person.
Many of us have wondered how we would perceive the world if we were blind, and almost all of us would guess nothing more than pitch darkness. what we see when we close our eyes This is.
But that is not the case. In front of the eyes of the visually impaired There is no black color. Let’s explain what it actually is, both in terms of congenital and acquired visual impairments.
Visually impaired people do not see the world in pitch black.
Dr. İrem Özdemir explains how visually impaired people see the world:
“Many people think that visually impaired people can see the world you see black and dark “We think it’s because when we close our eyes, all we can see is blackness, but it’s not actually like that. Visually impaired people can’t see anything because the message to the brain is cut off. It’s hard for us to imagine, but think about it this way. Just as when you close one eye, all the areas that eye sees disappear, visually impaired people see in this way.”
This of course varies in those who are blind from birth and those who become blind later in life.
People who are blind from birth never perceive their surroundings visually throughout their lives, as we mentioned above. when you literally see nothing Those who become blind later can see things like colors, shapes, lights, darkness.
A person who later became blind describes his own experience as follows:
“Right now it’s a dark brown background with turquoise flashes front and center. It’s even turned green now. It’s a bright blue with yellow flecks on it now, and it’s an orange that threatens to take over the entire landscape. The rest of my vision crushed geometric shapes, “scribbles and clouds and they change before I can describe them. Come back in an hour, they’ll be different. If I close my eyes to escape all this mess, nothing changes. They never go away.”
In short, people who are visually impaired from birth can perceive things they did not perceive before. because they can’t see anything They do not see anything, but those who become blind later experience some images such as lights, shapes, colors.
