Eyes: Windows Into A Person's Experience--Part 1 of 3

[rzsigray1]

what happens when someone is legally blind...could they read eyes? in other words you can't go up to a person then get 1 inch from their face to see what the eyes are doing...do the disabled miss out on what the eyes do...btw good vid

@rzsigray1 Great question. Just as we can't see people's eyes when we receive a call, email, text or IM, it is true that poor eyesight can hinder our reading of certain aspects of body language. But there are so many other things to pay attention to. You can listen to the inflection, tone, interest, or degree of strain in a person's voice. If you can see a person's posture, you can look at whether s/he is slumped over or standing up. So, missing some messages can leave your attention for others.
