vision loss
Eyes failing gradually
Vision loss is partial or complete inability to see.
The term covers everything from mild impairment to total blindness, whether from disease, injury, or aging.
Unlike blindness, which often implies complete loss, vision loss suggests a spectrum: Her vision loss progressed slowly over several years.
The phrase is clinical and neutral, preferred in medical contexts.
