Phenomenology of Vision Loss
Original language description
The present paper covers numerous issues that are subject to research by neuroscientists, philosophers, psychologists, clinicians, as well as special education teachers. The main objective of the study is to achieve a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of vision loss in human beings as a changing phenomenon. One of the goals of the study is further development of a research study published as ‘Perception in a Person with Visual Impairment in the Context of Imagination Specifics’. How does the phenomenon of perceptual experience and imagination in a person change in the situation of vision loss? The phenomenon of gradual vision loss is highly specific, and its characteristic features cannot be summarized quantitatively. The qualitative study focused on the participants’ life stories. Research data were collected by means of written and oral questionnaires. The data were supported by a review of relevant documents. The data evaluation process was based on a description of the phenomena, development of clusters, recognition of patterns, and identification of associations. The final part of the study is a result of a comparison of the participants’ subjective experiences. Elements of triangulation were used and a qualitative approach was followed. This study helped develop the authors’ previous qualitative research. The above mentioned publication presents a comparison of cases of persons who underwent various stages of vision loss from low vision to blindness. In the present research project (Ref. No. IGA_PdF_2017_013), the authors focused on persons with gradual vision loss, i.e. those with residual vision.
