Abstract

Vision is a complex sense which has a significant impact on healthy brain development, education, and immersive interaction with the world. Ensuring vision is protected, respected, and enhanced if required, is essential in achieving Maaori health goals. Taa (Sir) Mason Durie claimed that the key priority within Maaori health is to be able to achieve full and active participation within society. Vision loss is associated with negative social and physical health consequences beyond visual impairment, including exacerbation of chronic illnesses and increased risk of depression. Thus, addressing vision loss for Maaori is a matter of striving for equity to ensure full and active participation within society is attainable.
