This includes persons who are unable to or experience extreme difficulty in performing tasks requiring distance or peripheral vision or in performing fine detail tasks such as reading, writing, distinguishing TV images at a distance of 2 meters, see the time on a wristwatch or recognize faces, even when wearing glasses or contact lenses.
