For many of us, it is a matter of wonder how people with any disabilities can lead their lives alone. We would like to find out if his/her disability is congenital, if he/she can do his/her daily chores alone, or if having such an obstacle creates other obstacles in his/her life. That is why we ask disabled people what we are curious about. These questions can sometimes be questions that the disabled person will be happy to answer and inform the person in front of them, but sometimes they can also be uncomfortable questions for the disabled person. The way we ask the questions and the quality of the questions we ask are very important at this point. The questions we ask should be questions asked in order to learn and increase our awareness. In order to satisfy our personal curiosity, we should avoid questions that a disabled person may be uncomfortable answering about his or her life through an obstacle.
In this article, we will answer the most popular questions asked about disability, especially for blind people, and where we can learn more about the world of the visually impaired..
One of the most frequently asked questions for the visually impaired or blind is the question of whether the visually impaired or blind can cry.
The deficiency in the eyesight of a visually impaired person is not related to his eye source. If there is no dryness in the eye source, the tears of the visually impaired may flow in cases of intense emotion that they experience, when they feel burning in their eyes, or as a result of any event that will cause tears to flow.
Another answer to the question that is very curious and asked to the visually impaired is the question of whether the visually impaired/blind hear better than the individuals who can see.
There is no difference in the hearing ratio of a person with a visual impairment/blind and a person who sees it -except for special disorders, hearing rate differences-. In other words, we cannot make a comment that visually impaired people hear better because they don't see. However, there is an interpretation that we can make, and that is the interpretation that the visually impaired person's life should be sound-oriented and that their perception of sounds should be very clear. Therefore, each visually impaired person focuses on sounds as a way of perceiving life. Visually impaired people can become aware of even the slightest sounds.
The question of whether the visually impaired dream is another very curious question.
The answer is yes. It may remain somewhat superficial to reduce the definition of vision to an action that can only be performed by the eye. Seeing can also be with perceptions. The concept of dreaming, on the other hand, can have a perceptual meaning in addition to being a visual concept. Visually impaired people live their dreams with these senses because they live their life audibly, tactile and olfactory. Whatever is the most dominant emotion that evokes the data in your dreams, they see it in your dream. For example, if they see that they are in a flower garden, they perceive it as fragrant and tactile.
Should we say blind or visually impaired? It's time to answer this question..
By definition, a person with any lack of vision is known as a visually impaired person, and a person who has completely lost their eyesight is known as a blind person. It has replaced the concept of the blind with visual disabilities as used in Turkey. Blindness, on the other hand, is perceived negatively. However, these definitions do not mean negative. You can call it visually impaired or blind unless it is used for other purposes.
Our last question is about the use of technology by the visually impaired and blind..
The latest point that we have come to in technology today shows that it is not surprising that the visually impaired and blind use technology. Software developed for the visually impaired is usually sound-oriented and makes the images audibly selected by the individuals who see them audibly. The screen readers of the phone, computers give commands to the visually impaired and direct them.
In addition to these technologies, BlindLook facilitates the access of visually impaired people to brands with the Audio Simulation technology it has developed. Brands integrated with Audio Simulation technology become accessible brands. We encourage people to work as BlindLook and be more aware of the developed freedom technology in order to ensure that the curious questions are not left unanswered and correct the known mistakes that are true.
