Doel"Support of the visually impaired at the function level by means of lighting"
The International Classification for Functioning (WHO, 2001) provides a strong guideline for the rehabilitation practice. The system classifies the consequences of disorders in terms of the dimensions Functioning, Activities and Participation. Planning of rehabilitation activities should always follow that order of dimensions. Adequate lighting of the living- and/or working environment of the visually impaired provides support at the level of functioning: it makes available the optimal use of the remaining vision. It turns out that many visually impaired show there best daily vision at luminance levels far above the normal 100 lux. On the other hand, many visually impaired have serious problems with high luminances, which makes there vision less than optimal. These seemingly contradictory boundary conditions require an adequate procedure to quantify the specific needs of a subject. In our light laboratories in the Netherlands (Cornelissen, Vision Research 1995) we measure the performance of the subject as a function of the illumination level. Furthermore we quantify subjectively the upper- and the lower limit of illumination within which the subject can perform best. From that information a meticulous technical advice for the illumination of the living- and/or working area of the subject is produced. In this advice the choice of luminaires proved all important.

In the Netherlands the implementation of the illumination often can be financed by the municipality on the basis of a national law (WMO) that defines the support of impaired people to encourage their participation.
