Sample text

Children may, at the level of inadvertent use of visual potential, get only very little of sufficiently specific and structured information, which is often quite insufficient for the development of visual imagination and memory. 30 The level of imagination of an individual with congenital visual impairment depends not only on the degree of visual functions, but also on the level of built-up capacity for visual learning, imagination and memory (Růžičková & Hordějčuková, 2015). With regard to learning and use of visual memory, persons with acquired disorders, with their visual memory built on concrete and precise visual images, are in a different situation.

At very low levels of light, the eye cannot distinguish colours at all (Macháček, 2002). e. the ability of the eye to change the threshold of sensitivity to light. Adaptive capacity is determined by the regeneration and synthesis of visual pigments in the retina. At a higher light intensity, dominant function is taken over by cones (photopic vision); during transitional period (in deteriorated lighting conditions), it is a synthesis of the function of cones and rods (mesopic vision); at low levels of light, the function of cones is being phased out and rods take over (scotopic vision).

In this context, many persons with low vision lose the ability to accurately recognize the subtle shades of colours. At very low levels of light, the eye cannot distinguish colours at all (Macháček, 2002). e. the ability of the eye to change the threshold of sensitivity to light. Adaptive capacity is determined by the regeneration and synthesis of visual pigments in the retina.
