Description / Abstract:
This CIE Guide provides fundamental knowledge and data on vision
of older people and people with disabilities, as well as design
considerations based on that data, in order to facilitate
consideration of the needs of older people and people with
disabilities.
While there is no clear definition for "older people", this
Guide presents data that include samples taken mainly from people
over 60 years old. In addition, the visual disabilities addressed
are low vision and colour vision defects. Care for totally blind
people is not considered as light and lighting issues have no
relevance for them, although non-visual issues such as tactile or
auditory information for increasing accessibility are vitally
important.
