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 Data type: Defined list
