Individual’s suffering from impairment of sight would struggle immensely to complete even some of the basic task we take for granted. They cannot distinguish between peoples face, never get to see television, and no longer enjoy the sights of the world around them. This again leaves them feeling self-conscious and isolated from society. People with a sight impairment can become wholly dependant on the support they receive from care agencies and friends and family. They lose all independence to an extent and have to learn to adjust to the world around them.
Individuals that have lost both sight and hearing will be completely dependent on other people they will have very limited communication options. This would leave them feeling very low, isolated and very frustrated.
