Sight is the ability to observe lit objects, with the goal of orienting yourself on objects and people in a lit environment. This pertains to observing the light stimuli, and not processing them in the brain.
A sight disorder can lead to things including orientation problems.

Technical specifications in HL7v3 CDA and HL7 FHIR
To exchange information based on health and care information models, additional, more technical specifications are required.
Not every environment can handle the same technical specifications. For this reason, there are several types of technical specifications:
HL7® version 3 CDA compatible specifications, available through the Nictiz ART-DECOR® environment
HL7® FHIR® compatible specifications, available through the Nictiz environment on the Simplifier FHIR
