One of the difficulties confronting researchers working on the situation of the disabled in any country of the Arab world is the lack of data and statistics. Visual impairment is a unique kind of disability given that people sufferring from such a disability are the least in number. Moreover, because it is a sensory disability this makes it complex in nature. It is a disability that has serious impacts on all aspects of life: the educational, the rehabilitational, the social, the cultural, the economic, and so on.
