Which description corresponds to 'Severe difficulty' in vision?

• A. Severe difficulty — The person’s ability to identify objects in the environment is in question, and the person may see only light, colors, or shapes.
• B. Moderate difficulty — The person has limited vision; is not able to see newspaper headlines, but can identify objects.
• C. Adequate — The person sees fine detail, including regular print in newspapers/books.
• D. Minimal difficulty — The person sees large print, but not regular print.

Answer: (A)

Severe difficulty in vision means the person's ability to recognize objects in the environment is in serious question, and they may see only light, colors, or shapes. This reflects a high level of impairment where identifying familiar items around them is not reliable. The description that matches this level is the one stating that the person may see only light, colors, or shapes and cannot confidently identify objects. By contrast, moderate difficulty describes limited vision where objects can still be identified (though details like newspaper headlines may not be readable), adequate means seeing fine detail including regular print, and minimal difficulty means seeing large print but not regular print.
