What causes vision impairment and blindness?

If you have low vision, eyeglasses, contact lenses, medicine or surgery may not help. Activities like reading, shopping, cooking, writing and watching TV may be hard to do. The leading causes of low vision and blindness in the United States are age-related eye diseases. These include macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma. Other eye disorders, eye injuries and birth defects can also cause vision loss.
