How it's used

Focus on using the term as a respectful descriptor for individuals rather than a label for the condition itself. It is standard to pair this with 人士 to create a polite and professional way to refer to people with visual disabilities. Avoid using older or more blunt terms that might be considered insensitive in modern social contexts.

Common mistake

Learners sometimes mistakenly use this word as a verb or an adjective to describe someone's eyesight in a casual way, but it is a formal medical and social noun. It is not used to describe someone who simply needs glasses or has poor vision due to common refractive errors.
