Stigma and blindness.

Moral disapproval, denigration, and avoidance are part of the stigma toward persons with blindness, as well as other chronic diseases. This stigma can affect adjustment, leading to decreased social and self-acceptance. Health-care professionals share the value and beliefs of society, and by their actions may contribute to the discrediting of the individual. Strategies can be used to increase awareness of the attitudes that health-care professionals hold, as well as assisting blind persons to manage their stigma.
