Symptoms of Vision Loss and Blindness

Vision loss and blindness can occur suddenly or gradually over time. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 12 million people age 40 or older in the United States are visually impaired; over 1 million people are blind. It can be helpful to understand the symptoms of vision loss and blindness. By 2050, experts estimate that the number could double.

Please know that some types of vision loss are temporary or reversible.
