Sightlessness

Definition

Sightlessness refers to the complete lack of vision or the inability to see.

Usage

Sightlessness can be caused by various factors such as congenital conditions, accidents, or diseases.

Sightlessness affects individuals differently, and adaptation techniques such as braille, guide dogs, and assistive technologies can be helpful.

People with sightlessness often rely on their other senses, such as touch and hearing, to navigate the world around them.
