Dear Listers: Follow below the daily alerts from the Eyeway Helpdesk:
1. News Alert- 80% visually impaired youth see themselves healthy. It is a common perception that visual impairment, like any other form of disability, is a major cause of despair among the affected persons. A joint study by the PGI and Panjab University (PU), however, has defied this perception — finding that most visually impaired youths, at least in Chandigarh, are satisfied with their overall health and are able to relish parties and movies with the support of families and friends. The study, conducted by the School of Public Health at the PGI and the Centre for Public Health, PU, on 110 visually impaired youth in Chandigarh, revealed that 80 per cent of the respondents considered their overall health good.
