Visual impairment can be recorded for all people who are in scope of the CLD collection. If the person has a sensory registration, use the registration category to reflect the severity of the impairment, otherwise use the ‘severity unknown’ option when any recorded health condition uses the old EQ-CL wording. ‘Unknown’ should be used where the client’s Visual Status has not been recorded.

An impairment can also be recorded if this is on the local record and not formally registered.

• Blind/severely sight impaired
• Partial sight/sight impaired
• No visual impairment
• Visual impairment - severity unknown
• Unknown
