Healthy Interiors for the Visually Impaired
A post‐occupancy evaluation (POE) determines how the environment could be modified to reduce eyestrain and headaches, and prevent future falls. In order to adequately perform a POE on an environment for a person, the evaluator must know about the health condition of the person and symptom manifestations. This is a systemic process that necessitates an: (1) understanding of the problem; (2) understanding of the condition along with symptom manifestation; (3) understanding of the client; (4) understanding of the existing environment; and (5) understanding of how design can affect the environment. When developing designs for people with visual impairments the goal is to compose designs that will maximize a person's ability to perform all of the tasks that he/she desires. It is important for designers of built environment that visual impairments are not over‐generalized as a singular condition with only one perceptual manifestation.
