Definition of Deafblindness Whilst there is no generally accepted definition of Deafblindness there is a working description that has been accepted over many years. Persons are regarded as Deafblind “if their combined sight and hearing impairment cause difficulties with communication, access to information and mobility. This includes people with a progressive sight and hearing loss" . ( , Department of Health, 1995). Deafblindness can be found in all age groups, including children, but the incidence is greatest in older adults. The term 'dual sensory loss' can be used interchangeably with deafblindness denoting the fact that combined losses of sight and hearing are significant for the individual even where they are not profoundly deaf and totally blind.
This definition is also used in the Department of Health, Section 7 Guidance for local authorities, which outlines their obligations to deafblind people living in their area.

Terminology Diversity. Anophtalmie. Définition Définition Une anophtalmie est une malformation congénitale caractérisée par l'absence de l'un, ou des deux globes oculaires. En réalité c'est celui de monophialmie qui devrait être employé à la place. Une existence normale est possible avec une anophtalmie quand celle-ci est isolée, c'est-à-dire qu'il n'existe pas d'autres malformations graves. Généralités Le terme monophthalmie, du grec monos qui signifie seul, et ophthalmos : oeil, désigne l'absence congénitale d'un seul oeil. Généralement, le terme anophtalmie dont la signification est utilisée pour désigner cette anomalie, est une erreur grammaticale. Le terme borgne est employé dans le langage courant, pour désigner une monophthalmie. Symptômes Physiopathologie Au cours du syndrome de Ullrich-Feichtiger appelé également typus rostockiensis, car c'est à Rostock, en Allemagne orientale, que Feichtiger l'a décrit, on constate une dyscranio-pygophalangie.
