Challenge of Navigating Stairs for People with Low Vision

People with low vision may face a reduced sense of depth perception and peripheral vision. Stair navigation therefore proves to be a dangerous mobility challenge, as people with low vision experience higher rates of falling and injuring themselves. Those with low vision may walk slowly, keep their line of vision downwards to see the current tread and the next one, and shuffle their feet to feel the edges.
