Which term encompasses various levels of sight loss not amounting to complete blindness?

• A. Visual Impairment
• B. Uveitis
• C. Bulging Eyes
• D. Color Blindness

Answer: (A)

Visual impairment is the broad term that covers any level of sight loss that does not amount to complete blindness. It includes everything from mild reductions in vision to substantial impairment that may be legally blind, but still indicates not all vision is lost. The other options describe specific conditions or signs rather than a spectrum of vision loss: uveitis is an inflammatory condition of the eye, bulging eyes (exophthalmos) is a physical sign often linked to certain diseases, and color blindness refers to difficulty distinguishing colors, not to overall reduction in vision.
